The Most Reverend Wm. Michael Mulvey, STL, DD, Bishop of Corpus Christi blessed and opened the Mother Teresa Transitional Housing for Men on March 23, 2012.Located at 1605 Mestina Street, this community-based program combines transitional housing, and supportive services which are intended to create permanent housing and individual self-sufficiency. This initiative solidifies our vision of delivering holistic services all under one roof.The Mother Teresa Transitional Housing for Men has a capacity of 24 private bedrooms. Our residents share common areas such as restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, kitchen, and recreation areas. In addition, supportive services and workshops are provided; i.e. rental counseling, Fair Housing, budget and money management, saving for permanent housing, anger management, nutrition and cooking classes, drug and alcohol prevention, workshops for the development of social skills needed for re-entering back into society, assistance with locating employment, and opportunities are made available for those wanting to return to school.Our Transitional Housing program specializes in serving homeless single men with serious enough barriers, resulting in getting or keeping permanent housing. It provides an ample period for stabilization, learning, and planning, all which are needed if they are ultimately to leave homelessness and stay housed. Most individuals may already have a history of leaving homelessness for housing but not being able to maintain permanent housing, or some may have characteristics that are known to lower the probabilities of being able to maintain housing without support.Following the “Needs of a Homeless Person through the Continuum of Care System,” our program and services will continue the implementation of the following:- Outreach, intake, and assessment to (1) identify an individual’s service and housing needs, and (2) link them to appropriate housing and/or service resource
- Emergency Shelter and safe, decent alternatives to the streets
- Transitional housing with and/or supportive services geared to help people develop skills necessary for permanent housing, independence, and self-sufficiency
- Permanent housing and permanent supportive housing
