Housing
Home Place and Arch Village
Housing plays a crucial part in ones ability to succeed. We provide our students with warm, safe, monitored, affordable housing so they can study and rest in peace. We are blessed to have 8 apartments in partnership with Habitat For Humanity and with The AAHS Arch Village.
Mentorship
One on one mentorship
Our mentors spend 4 hours a month with our students, helping the skills they’ve be taught come to life. They also help our student navigate tricky relationships, connect to job opportunities, and help them develop healthy and productive responses to life
