Matthew House was named after one of Jesus’s disciples. The idea that Jesus picked 12 whom others believed were no good, and with them, He changed the world. The Center plans to develop 12 Houses named after each of Jesus’s disciples by 2030. Matthew House was designed by mental health professionals and persons with lived experience, specifically to create an environment of community, healing, change and hope. The backyard pavilion was designed as a modernized sensory room. It is a quiet, communal space to meditate, practice mindfulness, convene group meetings, and have privacy while visiting with family. The Genesis Room is a quiet communal space to meditate, practice mindfulness, convene group meetings, and have privacy while visiting with family. Community is who we are at The Center and we appreciate your financial support to continue giving hope to those whom others believed were no good.
We provide a caring, living environment where individuals have support with gaining self-sufficiency, and ultimately making progress to return to the community independently.
