Living Space Program
Self-Discipline is important to us at Abundant Blessings. We want to emphasize to our Client’s that how you live here is how you will live in your own home. Abundant Blessings emphasizes in organizing, decluttering, and personal cleanliness. We work with all of our Client’s to declutter and keep their living areas clean on a daily basis. These are good habits that not only benefit them with their Landlords but for their kids and themselves.
Housing Goals Program
Case Managers work with the Client’s and talk about the housing that they think it best suited for their family. It is important to have in mind what type of housing you are looking for. Having a determined housing goal lets the client set realistic goals in place in which they can achieve easier.

The Abundant Blessings 16-Week Road to Success Program is composed of several different categories that merge up to create a plan for the Client to reach their desired goals. This Program not only sets goals but also measures the Client’s Strengths and Weaknesses and from there Case Managers can guide the Client so they know where they can allocate more of their time to be able to fill those gaps. The main focus for the Abundant Blessings 16-Week Road to Success Program is to motivate Client’s to create and meet their goals which will subsequently lead them to obtain Permanent Housing with less probabilities for them to fall back into homelessness.
