CENTER OF HOPE - Transitional Shelter with a Life Transforming Purpose The purpose of the Center of Hope Program is to assist people in helping themselves to overcome through Christ the problems that have damaged their lives. The ultimate goal is to integrate the graduate of this Program back into society in about 90 days. Education, life skills, and Christianity are a major part of this approach. The Salvation Army, historically, has been a holistic ministry that helped people physically, challenged people mentally, and transformed people spiritually. This Program will be offered to persons who are truly sincere in breaking their state of dependency. The Program will accomplish outlined goals in a series of phases and steps. If worked properly, the Center of Hope will result in the Program Participant (client) developing a positive mental attitude about themselves and others. Program Participants, in cooperation with the Program Director and Case Manager will develop goals and objectives that can be measured so that the clients and those helping them, will be able to measure and assist in their Progress.
