Fresh Start Housing, LLC is a long-term transitional housing program. It’s developed to provide a living environment dedicated to your self-sufficiency and independence; through work, savings, and skill courses.
WORK & SAVINGS: You must work a bare minimum of 40 hours a week and save 10% of your earnings into your private savings account.
SAVINGS: Your savings will allow you to buy a mode of transportation such as a car or moped. Also, allowing you to accumulate enough money for the first, last, and a deposit on a place to live.
If you save more than 10% of your earnings, you could have enough money to put a deposit down on a home of your very own. The more you work and save during your 15-month stay will determine how many monetary goals you can reach.
SKILL COURSES: Courses are developed to fit your specific needs and conducted one-to-one. Skills taught ensure permanent solvency (no debt) and prevent homelessness. You may also learn cooking, cleaning, or other skills as needed.
