Take these steps if you need shelter or a long-term program:

First...
Call (559) 264-4714 to see if we have any openings. You will speak to the house manager or receptionist on duty. She will tell you about rules and expectations.
You will be asked some basic questions about your situation. Feel free to ask questions also.

Second...
The next step is an in-person interview. An appointment will be made for you to come in for an in-depth interview. It will take about an hour. If you have children, it is O.K. to bring them at this time. Come to the interview ready to stay even though we cannot guarantee that you will be admitted. The staff member who does your interview will also pray with you if you wish.

Third...
After the interview, you will be shown around the Home and given a brief explanation of how everything works. We want you to feel welcome here, and we understand that this might be a stressful time. Usually the first 24 hours are the hardest because everything is new and unfamiliar. However, it gets easier once you know the routine and what to expect.

We offer you the best we have in a warm and supportive environment. There is no charge for your stay, but we do ask that you contribute to the household chores. We have several programs each with different rules, requirements, and expectations. However, each area has the following basics:
 
We are a non-smoking facility. No smoking is allowed anywhere on our campus.
 
We do not tolerate alcohol or drug use.
 
We have curfews and times to be in the Home.
 
Everyone helps with household chores.
 
We maintain a dress code.
 
We have zero tolerance for violence either physical or verbal.
 
If you would like to receive a list of basic rules and expectations, please call us at (559) 264-4714 or send an email to evh@evangelhome.org.
