Programs: The Samaritan inn provides, at no cost, a secure and clean place to live with three well balanced meals a day, basic hygiene products, baby items and clothing as needed with the help of our Inn-Style Resale Store. Our building has separate living areas for men, women and families. Within this nurturing environment, each resident meets with a professional social worker and develops an individualized action plan, receives case management services and mental health counseling by a licensed professional counselor. The Samaritan Inn teaches self-sufficiency and life skills through its Transitional Residential Shelter program. Programs include: job readiness, computer skills, financial literacy, parenting, customer service training and GED classes. Outside referrals are made for support programs such as legal and financial counseling, mental and physical health services. Additionally, residents who qualify are given an opportunity to transition into our Gateway Transitional housing program that supplies a fully furnished apartment with subsidized rent and continued case management. Residents who “graduate” from the Transitional Residential shelter receive all the necessary items to set up their own households. Ongoing support is also provided, for as long as necessary, to ensure long-term, permanent independence.
