VANDALIA — Our Father’s Family Keeper Ministries is turning a new leaf, meeting a great need in the community, by offering low-cost, quality housing for men who are on probationary or parolee status.

     Its new program is the OFFKM-P2 Phase II Transitional Housing Program.

     OFFKM will be using its Transitional Housing to house future tenants who will be personally interview and agree to a set of house rules before moving into the facility. 

     The new tenants must be ‘working, motivated men’ referred by the Department of Corrections or the Cass County Housing Assessment and Resource Agency (HARA).

     The OFFKM Transitional House most recently offered free housing to single women and women with children who were homeless or at risk of being homeless; those women subscribed to an OFFKM program to help them find or maintain employment, manage their money and establish savings to enable them to move into their own housing and gain other significant life skills.

     Rent for the new housing will be $100 per week.

     For more information, contact OFFKM at 269.476.1257.
