Celebrating 15 Years!
In September 2006, My Father's House opened to doors to our Transitional Housing Shelter and accepted our first residents. Some of our first residents had been homeless for some time and didn't want to leave the area due to local connections or resources. They eagerly awaited our opening and the opportunity to have a roof over their heads, regular meals and access to supportive services. Fifteen years later, the faces have changed but the needs have not.
We are so thankful to our donors for supporting us so that we can continue to serve the homeless in our community. Thank you for your partnership!

Our Programs
This facility-based transitional housing program is funded by a federal grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Transitional housing allows our residential guests to stay for up to 2 years in housing as they make strides to improve their circumstances and viability for interdependent, responsible living within our community.
Our residents are given a room in which to live along with shared, private showers. The rooms were remodeled with an emphasis on decor more consistent with a home than an intuitional setting. Services are provided on site and off site through partnering organizations.
Our facility provides housing to individual women 18 years and older, younger emancipated women and families who are experiencing homelessness. Applicants must be experiencing homelessness in Miami or Linn counties in Kansas.
An application must be completed and eligibility determined before entering the transitional housing program. Eligibility is, in part, determined by the definition of homelessness adopted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
