ROOM FOR DIFFERENT JOURNEYS

One community. Separate homes.

We are planning a home for women, including women with children, and a separate home for men. We’ll share confirmed locations and availability as each home becomes ready.

WHO WE SERVE · PEOPLE. PURPOSE. POSSIBILITY.

Your story isn’t over.
There is room to begin again.

Behind every fresh start is a person who deserves a place to belong.

A woman ready to find her footing. Rebuilding on her own, or seeking stability for herself and her children. A place to breathe, rebuild routines, and take the next step.

A man ready for a different chapter. Someone rebuilding after a difficult season, seeking structure, meaningful connection, and encouragement to keep moving forward.

A young adult learning to stand independently. Someone transitioning out of foster care or stepping into adulthood who needs guidance, practical skills, and people in their corner.

One community. Separate homes.

We are planning a home for women, including women with children, and a separate home for men. Young adults would be considered for the appropriate home based on individual needs, program fit, and availability.

Our community is being built for women, women with children, and men—including people navigating recovery, reentry, life after military service, or housing instability.

Let’s talk about your next step

We’ll talk together about your needs, program fit, and availability.

THE HEALING PROGRAM

People who walk alongside you.

A listening ear. An encouraging word. Someone who understands what it means to begin again. Our optional Healing Program connects residents with Healing Partners who bring lived experience, encouragement, and faith-based spiritual support.

Alongside our outside faith-based partners, we’re creating opportunities for connection and personal growth. Participation in the Healing Program is voluntary.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING

Let’s make the
next step clearer.

Do women and men live in the same home?

No. Our plan is a home for women, including women with children, and a separate home for men. Young adults would be considered for the appropriate home based on individual needs, program fit, and availability. Confirmed locations and availability will be shared as each home becomes ready.

Is housing available now?

We’re preparing to open our first home. Contact us to discuss your needs and receive the latest location and availability information.

What is the weekly rate?

Our rate is $225 per resident, per week. We’ll review payment terms, what is included, and any applicable fees with you before an agreement is signed.

Who can inquire about housing?

Adults seeking shared transitional housing, their loved ones, and referring organizations are welcome to contact us. We review individual needs and eligibility to determine whether our housing and support are an appropriate fit.

Is the Healing Program required?

No. The Healing Program and its faith-based spiritual support are optional.

Does BAL provide medical treatment?

BAL provides housing and nonclinical support. We do not provide medical treatment, detoxification, or personal care services. We can discuss how our housing might work alongside an individual’s existing providers.
