Crossroads Center of Hope has three areas that differ from other homes that provide similar opportunities. This makes us unique in our field and is a big plus for mothers who seek our help.
Our residents will be encouraged to stay at Crossroads Center of Hope for at least eighteen months but could stay up to 3 years. The housing/rental market of today is the guide for their future of moving out, unless, they have another place to go. One of our goals is to help our mothers find their niche so they will be able to support their child without government assistance and have a career not just a job.
In our organic gardens each family will have their own plot to grow the vegetables they prefer. The mom will have her own area and her child(ren) will have theirs so they can learn responsibility for caring for their own plants, from planting to picking and carry that knowledge forward to their own home, whether it be an apartment, duplex, or house, there can be found some area with sun or partial sun in which to plant. Periodically we will have garden to table dinner so everyone can enjoy all of the different items that have been planted.
After leaving CCH, our former residents will be welcomed back to attend classes that are new, to receive emotional support, or just to visit and partake of the gardens they helped nurture. Our hands will always be reaching out to them for as long as they need us.
