We provide a stable, healthy, safe, quiet, drug and alcohol free, transitional living situation for homeless men.
Each of the homeless men may stay for an open ended length of stay according to their needs, determined by the Catholic Worker community. Each guest accepts the invitation to live in this home with others with responsibility of maintaining order and respect and following the rules of the community.
