The New Start Women’s Program is a transitional program that teaches life skills through education, training, and resources to women committed to improving their lives. There are several components that work together to help bring stability to the participants enrolled in the program. The women are required to attend life skills classes that cover topics like finances, relationships, and parenting skills. Participants also attend weekly Bible studies, counseling, and one-on-one mentoring appointments. As the women attend classes, they earn stipend money that can be used for housing expenses. In November 2011, we were able to purchase 4 apartments because of donations that were made to the New Start Women’s Program. We are now able to provide low cost housing to some of the participants enrolled in the program while they rebuild their lives. The apartments have been completely remodeled and our first two residents will be moving in March 1st. We are very thankful and excited about this opportunity God has given us to make a difference in the lives of hurting women and their children.
