Transportation to Success:
Most clients coming into the shelter do not have their own means of transportation, so this program is important in teaching them how valuable transportation is. This program provides clients transportation to agencies and places that will assist them in achieving their goals while also teaching them how to adequately find transportation on their own for when they graduate. In 2018 alone staff members logged in over 550 hours of transportation. Furthermore, through this program clients have been gifted vehicles; this is a reward that clients can earn during their stay at The Shepherd’s House. A client must pay any unpaid fines, obtain car insurance, and have a valid driver’s license before they have the chance to earn a vehicle.
