WICHITA FALLS, TX (TNN) – Wichita Falls Faith Refuge received a matching grant to buy a transitional home for its women.
The transitional home program works by allowing at least six people to live in a home together as they adjust to life outside the shelter. The residents are taught how to pay rent and bills, open a bank account, and save their money. It is all to help them become self-sufficient.
There is a living manager who monitors and helps the transitional home residents.
Every three months, the residents meet with non-profit directors to see if they are ready to move out.
“We ask them to set certain goals for themselves, saving certain amounts of money, making sure they are happy in their job,” Steve Sparks, Wichita Falls Faith Mission CEO, said. “If they still want to find a better job, they can stay here till they do that.”
