Micah’s House Mission
To equip young men experiencing homelessness with hope, healing, identity, and a place to belong.
Our Micahs
Young men 18-24 who have aged out of the foster care system or who are experiencing homelessness.
What is Micah’s House?
Micah’s House is a home and a program. Our residents live in the house while working through a program designed to give them life-skills, one-on-one coaching, mentoring, and counseling. We serve other clients (who are settled in a safe living situation) through our programs, resources, and mentors.
What Do You Do There?
Micah’s House helps young men find hope for their future, begin to heal from their past, claim who they are created to be, and build a community to walk through life with them.
How Do You Do this?
Young men come to live at Micah’s House by expressing a desire to break the generational cycles of poverty, abuse, incarceration, and addiction that they were born into. Our program, while individualized, does contain basic requirements for every resident.
Who is Micah?
The typical “Micah” that participates in our program is 18-24 years old and comes to us out of a group home or is homeless. Most of our men do not have a relationship with any biological family and do not have a community. Before they move in, men are interviewed by staff, mentors, and the board to discern if they are a good fit. A young man that fits our program is at least 60 days sober and clean, does not have a recent history of violence, can manage his own medications, has a desire to achieve financial independence, and is willing to work the program.
Why Does Micah's House Exist?
Many people are unaware of the number of young men living under private or public programs who reach adulthood without the necessary resources, relationships, and skills. On the outside, you may never know that there are issues, but many of young men are experiencing homelessness. You may find them sleeping in their car, on a friend's couch, or outside.
Without adequate resources the results can be drug use, higher crime rates, thoughts of suicide and emotional trauma. It has become evident that, for young men in particular, there are not adequate resources for those who find themselves in this situation.
