Admission Criteria

What we look for.

We provide a safe, structured environment for individuals seeking stability and accountability. Admission depends on following house rules and showing a real dedication to personal growth.

Resident fit

Fit with our house culture matters most. Priority goes to people who are respectful, responsible, and ready to rebuild their lives in a structured environment.

Safety & rules

Residents comply with house rules and curfews. Our homes are drug-free and alcohol-free to protect everyone's safety and dignity.

Accountability

Residents take responsibility for their own growth, including keeping up with employment, education, or personal development goals during their stay.

Community growth

Our homes are community-oriented, with residents supporting one another. Accountability is shared, and growth is celebrated as a collective achievement.

Please note: approval is based on fit, safety, available space, and the ability to follow house rules. Applying does not guarantee placement, and we'll always be upfront with you about whether a home is the right match.

What to Expect

After you apply.

We keep the process straightforward. Here's what happens once your application reaches us.

  1. 1

    We review your application

    Our team reads every application carefully and looks at fit, safety, and current availability across our homes.

  2. 2

    We reach out to talk

    If there's a potential match, we'll contact you to learn more about your situation, goals, and timeline.

  3. 3

    We confirm the match

    Together we make sure the house and its expectations are a good fit for you — and that you're comfortable with them.

  4. 4

    We arrange your move-in

    Once approved and space is available, we coordinate your move-in and walk you through orientation into the home.

House Expectations

Every resident agrees to the same things.

These expectations aren't negotiable, and they're not a punishment — they're what keeps the home safe and stable for everyone living in it, including you.

If you have questions about any of them before applying, just ask. We'd rather talk it through now than have it surprise you later.

  • Follow house curfews and quiet hours
  • Attend house meetings and community activities
  • Keep your living space clean and respectful
