Michael's PlaceMichael's Place is a voluntary residential program intended to help ex-offenders make a successful transition from jail or prison to independent living. Affirming the ideals of St. Vincent de Paul, Michael's Place stresses compassionate healing in a program that encompasses the spiritual, physical, psychological and social well being of the residents.
Although affiliated with the Catholic Church, Michael's Place, like all Society programs, is nonsectarian. It accepts men who are over twenty-one years of age regardless of race, color, or creed.
Michael's Place accepts men, who are homeless, willing to live by house rules, participate fully in a recovery program such as AA and/or NA and attend out patient therapy when needed. Expected stay is approximately six months.
When a resident graduates he will be employed full time, which gives him credibility and stability. He will also have a bank account including enough money to establish a place to live. He will have made arrangements for a healthy place to live. He will also have established a support system he can rely on for help when meeting the stresses that accompany independent living.
