Our Impact

Find Yourself in a Selfless Act

Step One Halfway House provides a Housing Scholarship Model for men who cannot afford housing costs.
Through this program, eligible residents can offset their housing expenses by completing community participation duties within the home and associated properties. This opportunity supports men who may arrive without income, personal belongings, or a local support network.

Residents in the Housing Scholarship Model contribute approximately 30–40 hours per week (about four and a half days) to tasks such as property upkeep, basic repairs, organization, or other approved projects. Those who meet participation requirements receive a program allowance every two weeks to help with personal expenses. This allowance is a housing benefit, not wages or employment.

Our Strategic Objectives

We are a community resource for the most vulnerable among us — the helpless, the homeless, the forgotten, and those who have fallen through the cracks.

We assist our communities by providing safe, stable housing for veterans, men experiencing homelessness, and individuals committed to living substance-free, including those facing financial or life stability challenges.

Our housing program fills the gap for people who have no place to turn, offering stability, structure, and a chance to rebuild their lives. We provide an environment that reduces financial pressure so residents can focus on employment, education, and personal growth.

By maintaining substance-free homes with clear community standards, we help residents transition from instability to independence. Our approach ensures that every person who meets our criteria has a fair chance at safe housing and the opportunity to move forward.
