OUR SERVICES
Homeless Services
We provide temporary emergency shelter to homeless men. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, showers, clothing, chapel services, case management, and health screenings are just a few of the services provided to all mission guests. Counselors are on staff at our Community Resource Center to help those staying in shelter and in the community.
The Cold or Hot Weather Policy ensures a person can find a safe place to sleep and a nutritious meal during both the cold and hot months. Cold Weather Policy happens approximately late November – March. Hot Weather Policy happens approximately June-August. Contact the shelter for specific dates each year at 231-727-6085.
Tiered Shelter
Muskegon Rescue Mission’s tiered shelter model goes beyond simply providing a roof over their heads. It tailors support to meet individual needs with three different levels of accommodations – from nightly emergency shelter, a dorm-style setting for temporary stays and a semi-private space for men who have progressed in their journey. This tiered approach provides the first step toward stability, highlighting the transformative impact of safe shelter in the recovery process and the journey to rebuilding lives.
Residential Program
Muskegon Rescue Mission’s Man of Integrity Program is a year-long, comprehensive program designed to help men understand the root causes of their homelessness. The program focuses on rebuilding lives on a solid biblical foundation offering life-long solutions. All aspects of a program participant’s life are addressed – physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social.
Residents will participate in:
- Bible studies
- Spiritual and life skill counseling
- Money management classes
- Job training
- Parenting Classes
- Job search assistance
- Actively attend a church in the community.
We partner with a community of pastors, counselors, social workers, and employment agencies in order to be effective as the Spirit leads us to bring men to maturity.
After successfully completing the Discipleship Program, family, friends, and staff are invited to celebrate the life-changing transformation and accomplishments of the program graduate. Graduates then become part of our acclimation process, where we continue to mentor them as they transition to independent living.
