Through our primary program, Family Matters, Genesis Home staff work with each family to identify the root cause of their homelessness and help them to overcome those issues by building on their strengths and turning obstacles into opportunities. Upon entering the Family Matters program, each family completes a vision plan that outlines specific goals that they hope to accomplish before graduating from Genesis Home. Once the vision plan is established, case management staff assists the family with breaking down their long-term goals into short-term, measurable steps. Once the measurable steps are outlined, the case managers meet with the family each week to evaluate their progress and assist with eliminating barriers to success. The average length of stay for most Family Matters clients is four months, but families can stay for up to two years if necessary. During this time, each family participates in weekly case management meetings, as well as seminars or personal counseling sessions on issues such as budgeting and finance, anger management, overcoming addictions, domestic violence and abuse, encouraging appropriate familial relationships, and healthy living.
