More than a Housing Program
Change that Lasts
Our two-year program provides tools that will allow program participants to build a solid foundation for life. All individuals and family heads are assigned a Life Coach who will collaborate with them throughout their journey to create a Life Plan for true change and transformation.
The Life Plan includes Long Term and Short Team SMART Goals. SMART Goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Resource-driven, and Time-bound. All program participants are required to be actively engaged to reach these SMART Goals.
Transformation through Collaboration
The key to transformational change is the bond formed between Life Coach and Program Participant. Using the Arizona Self-Sufficiency Matrix as a guide, the Program Participant and Life Coach work in collaboration together, to yield a Life Plan, which will contain at least ONE (1) long-term SMART goal.
The difficult task of the Life Coach is not to do try actually achieve this change for the Program Participant (i.e., “projecting” or trying to “fix” a perceived problem for someone else), but rather, to assist the Program Participant to take the lead on this transformation (more accurately stated, to allow the Holy Spirit to work). WHC uses the master’s level textbook, “Motivational Interviewing” training our Life Coaches to use “MI techniques” in working with Program Participants.
An Approach that Works
Through these practices, participants step into purpose, develop life skills, and prepare for a new chapter of independence.
Weekly Coaching
Program Participants meet with their Life Coach weekly in order to build a trusting relationship and to track his or her Life Plan progress.
Shared Agreements
Participation in Welcome Home Collaborative requires commitment to a set of structured rules and policies designed to protect the well-being of all residents and support meaningful personal growth.
Community Service
Program Participants are required to volunteer at least 10 hours a month through the duration of the program.
