Genesis II

Genesis II is a 22-bed family treatment shelter, which provides homeless mothers and fathers struggling to maintain sobriety with inpatient treatment without them having to place their children in foster care. Residents also receive assistance with housing, parenting skills, job readiness skills, budgeting, household management, nutritional planning, and medical care. A full-time case manager and a full-time family life advocate work with residents on the implementation of an individual/family treatment plan that includes intensive substance abuse counseling and attendance at self-help groups. Mental health treatment also is available.
