We provide emergency shelter and access to donated food to homeless men, women, and families in Northern Michigan.
Housing placement services, job placement services, vocational services, life skills classes, case management, and children's services are also provided through an agreement with Goodwill Industries of Northern Michigan, Inc.
Goodwill works not only to house, disadvantaged, and homeless persons in the most appropriate setting, but also to provide a wealth of services designed to ease a resident's transition back into independent living.
