StepStone

Cost: Rent is determined on a sliding fee scale based on the client's income, the number of dependents, and the cost of utilities. Participants pay a $250 security deposit and all utilities.

Length of stay: Two years is the maximum length of time a participant may remain in a StepStone home. She may continue to receive supportive follow-up services beyond two years if she and the StepStone staff believe it would be beneficial.

StepStone Corporate Partnerships: In January 2006, Dear Neighbor Ministries' Mission Advancement department introduced StepStone Corporate Partnerships. Through this program, businesses, civic groups, churches and others may sponsor a StepStone residence. To learn more, click here.

Volunteers: Volunteers help in a variety of ways. Some give presentations to women or help care for children during support group meetings. Others do home repairs, move furniture or distribute food. Group volunteer projects often help get vacant homes ready for new families. To volunteer, click here.
