Many residents arriving at the Village have spent years living on the streets while facing challenges such as addiction, trauma, or mental illness.
The Other Side model focuses on “whole person change.” Residents participate in structured programs that build life skills, personal accountability, and meaningful relationships with others in the community.
Before moving into permanent homes, future residents complete a preparation program that focuses on:
• personal responsibility
• mental health stability
• job skills and employment readiness
• community participation
This process helps individuals rebuild the habits and confidence needed to thrive long-term.
