The PRM Transformation Model

Giving Hope. Restoring Life.

The PRM Transformation Model, our Christ-centered approach to addressing homelessness, guides individuals struggling with homelessness, addiction, and trauma from a life of crisis toward wholeness. Each person we serve journeys through the model’s four holistic and integrated phases - Get Help, Stabilize, Recover, and Give Back - addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual roots of homelessness, addiction, and trauma.

Get Help

“Get Help” is where transformation begins. We meet people in their moment of crisis with open doors, the love of Christ, warm meals, safe shelter, and multiple pathways to a transformed life. Every interaction sends a message: “You matter. You are valuable. You can transform your life.”
