    PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
    Hope House will give homeless mothers with children under the age of 14 a second chance at life and provide a stable environment for their children. The mothers will be given up to two years in the home to better their lives and the lives of their children. To gain access to the home, a qualifying applicant must first fill out a detailed application. The applications will be reviewed by the advisory board comprised of the Director, the Director of Development, the House Mother and P10 Charity Founders, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Wells.

    Once in the home, the resident must adhere to a strict schedule. Hope House mom will be expected to complete her daily chores, clean the house weekly as well as work to support her and her family. When she receives her paycheck we will budget her money and save 85% of her income after approved expenses. Resident needing to complete the GED will spend time with a tutor to comprehend subject matter for the GED test. Resident will have limited, supervised access to the computers during approved schedule time. The goal is to separate them from negative influences.

    CONFIDENTIALITY
    The address of the Redemption House and Hope House is confidential and may not be given out to ANYONE.

    Guidelines for Group Living

    As a Faith-based organization, it is imperative that each participant understands the Perfect 10 Foundation's basic principles and core beliefs. P10F stands firm on our faith, based on the truth of the Bible, the belief of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and the existence of grace and mercy, free and unconditional to all whom are saved.

    Redemption House Social Covenant

    Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus replied: '.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

    1 Peter 3:8-11 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. 11 They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.

    Colossians 3:12-14 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

    Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human maste.
