Housing Solutions
Giving New Meaning to Home
Faith Mission offers clients who are enrolled or have graduated from our Resident Program the opportunity to live in supportive housing options on our campus.
As part of their lodging, residents are provided hygienic supplies and laundry facilities.
Short-Term & Long-Term Housing Support
Faith Mission of Michiana provides lodging accommodations to qualified residents. A resident’s stay can be short term (as little as one night) or long term (up to two years). To qualify for a longer term stay, they must be enrolled in the Resident Program which gives them the opportunity for positive life-changing experiences during their stay. As part of their lodging, residents are provided hygienic supplies and laundry facilities.
The Permanent Supportive Housing Program (PSHP) exists to provide intermediate-term housing for select Faith Mission of Michiana program graduates and families who need further assistance in attaining personal stability. This program provides situational, supportive housing while moving clients toward financial independence and long-term stable housing.
Tiny Shelters
Our Tiny Shelters program, providing up to 90-days of emergency shelter is designed for homeless individuals who may not be suitable for other Faith Mission of Michiana emergency housing or program options. These small shelters are built to provide transitional housing with a bed, chair, toilet, storage space, sink and additional amenities. A communal building offers laundry and shower facilities for village residents. Shelters in the David L. Miller Memorial Village are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Tiny Houses
Our innovative Tiny House neighborhood is now complete and operational. Located adjacent to the Tiny Shelters on the Faith Mission campus, these small homes are slightly larger and offer additional amenities for men and women who have graduated from our programs. This provides situational, supportive living arrangements while moving clients toward financial independence and long-term stable housing.
