CityTeam House of Grace is a unique program where addicted, abused or homeless women can rebuild their lives, without being separated from their young children. It is 12 to 14 month residential program. The women at House of Grace may choose to enter either a secular or a faith-based program. In either case, the women enroll in classes, which enable them to complete their high school education. They participate in vocational and life skills classes and counseling (individual, family, and group counseling), and attend 12-step meetings. Classes in conflict resolution, codependency, anger management, parenting and responsibility for one’s action are center to the training.

House of Grace is a community-based model, stressing personal responsibility, shared goals and support, mentoring, and empowering. It is a place where women are taught how to join the mainstream of community life so that they can become productive citizens, supporting themselves, their families and their community.

House of Grace Recovery Program is comprehensive; dealing with the whole person. As a result, graduates re-enter society with skills, positive attitudes and goals. This program has proven track record of making a lasting difference in the lives of the women who have successfully completed the required phases.


 HOW YOU CAN HELP

Starter Kits Needed
Many of the women who come to House of Grace come through our doors with just the clothes on their backs. We would like to provide them with a complete change of clothes and hygiene products. We are in need of all types of donations from brand new under garments to hair bushes, tooth brushes, toothpaste, shampoo and gently used clothes, etc.

Please contact House of Grace if you can help with this need. sjhouseofgrace@cityteam.org
