Residential Programs

The Weingart Center Association has an 11-story residential building that provides housing every day for nearly 600 people who are determined to change their lives. We offer our participants a nurturing, secure living environment, and have numerous residential programs tailored for men, women, veterans, people on parole, HIV+ individuals, the mentally ill, homeless families and people with substance abuse issues.

EMERGE

EMERGE provides housing, education, workforce development and job placement assistance to help homeless individuals enhance their earning potential and successfully re-enter the community.

EPIC

EPIC helps people on parole successfully re-enter the community by providing transitional housing, behavioral modification, education, vocational training and job placement.

Medical

On-site medical programs provide transitional housing and medical treatment to individuals discharged to the streets from area hospitals who are recovering from serious illness or injury, but do not require full hospital care. Also gives HIV+ individuals a safe environment to live in, counseling to deal with the diagnosis and better access to available benefits.

Open Door

Open Door is a critical intervention project that works collectively with community partners (i.e., transitional housing projects, jails, etc.) to assist participants with permanent housing and employment placement/retention.

Other Residential Services

We have additional residential services that provide temporary shelter beds for mentally ill individuals, as well as for men and women applying for General Relief. We also have a VOA program on-site that provides alcohol and drug rehabilitation as well as short-term detox services.

Project Paycheck

Project Paycheck provides employment assistance, intensive case management and recovery counseling to men and women with histories of chronic substance abuse who are in active recovery. Also develops job marketability through its employment services.

Veterans

Our Veterans program provides individualized supportive services and promotes progressive motivation and instruction to help veterans find permanent housing and secure a stable income. The program addresses the unique challenges that veterans face, including mental illness, physical illness and substance abuse.

Women’s Renaissance

Women’s Renaissance is an employment-focused transitional housing program that helps homeless women reach their goals through case management services, resources, referrals and job placement assistance.
