Who We Are
We are a faith-based, Not-For-Profit organization in South Lake County helping the HOMELESS learn how to live a better life by making good choices and to recover from their hurts, habits & hang ups. We provide a home, food, clothing, professional counseling, job opportunities, hope, and encouragement.
Who We Serve
Some of our residents suffer from depression caused by divorce and financial ruin. Others suffer from alcohol and drug addiction. (See the testimonies page)
How We Are Different
An emergency shelter must, by law, take anyone into the facility. They typically provide food, clothing, and a bed. The individual is usually in the facility for only a short time. New Beginnings takes in men, women, and children in need. They are carefully screened through police and medical records. Relatively healthy adults who have adequate criminal backgrounds are acceptable. Most importantly, they must agree to our admissions policy. They include: no alcohol, drugs, or smoking at any time after moving in; and no sexual reading or activity. Phone calls and watching TV will be closely monitored by the house manager. The house manager at New Beginnings monitors all activities and any medicines, and insures that all established policies are adhered.
