Paving a continuous path from homelessness to independent, sustainable living
A New Day at First Stop is about supporting Huntsville’s development with expanded facilities, resources and programs to assist our growing number of homeless clients secure independent, sustainable housing.
We have plans to expand our Case Management with a new facility on campus with ample room for offices and meeting spaces. The existing Case Management area will be repurposed to support the new Enrichment Programs we will launch in 2021.
First Stop’s new Enrichment Program will provide important resources and guidance to clients as they progress down the path to independent living. Through a combination of partnerships with other community organizations and programs developed and executed by First Stop staff and volunteers, clients will receive help in important areas like: Job Readiness & Workforce Training, Financial Counseling & Empowerment, Educational Advancement, Computer Skills & Training, Health & Hygiene Education, Addiction Recovery.
