New housing program for chronic homeless men launched

Mel Trotter Ministries is launching a new housing program for men facing chronic homelessness. This initiative aims to provide long-term, transitional housing for those who struggle in traditional shelters due to complex care needs. The pilot program will start with eight or nine men and run for at least six months. It is inspired by the success of Dégagé Ministries' Heartside Landings, which supports women with similar challenges. Funding will come from donations and state resources. The program seeks to create a supportive community for residents as they address mental health and addiction issues, which often hinder their ability to maintain independent housing.
