Description
The mission of Fresh Start Home is to ensure the provision of services to women who experience barriers in their lives and to assist restoration of these women to the community. The rather simplistic offering of a twin mattress upon which to sleep is the first step in addressing women’s needs. Through offering basic, emergency services [food, clothing, shelter, hygiene items], women are able to reclaim their dignity and begin working on an Individualized Goal Plan. This plan requires dedication on behalf of the woman served and her case manager. The plan acts as a road map for women to advance to reach the goal of self-sufficiency. Through the attainment of employment, acquisition of life skills, maintenance of sobriety, and exploration of personal strengths, women are able to move beyond basic needs into addressing short-term goals. Toward this end, women are required to attend groups in the community and to donate hours of volunteerism to the community. Team members work with women to ensure services are available and appropriate. When women have a successful departure, they transition comfortably and productively into the Lincoln community.
