New Faith for Women
Safety, support and Christian addiction recovery in Albany, NY for women and their children.
Women and children are the fastest-growing segment of homelessness. Since 2002, many have called the New Faith Program home as they find safety and healing from trauma, abuse, domestic violence and addiction.
In this free, year-long Christian recovery program for homeless and hurting women, each woman (and their children up to age 12) is provided a private apartment during her stay. There are also laundry facilities, a children’s activity room, an outside recreational area and a chapel.
"My daughter and I will have a better life!"
Read Susan’s StoryThe four-phase faith-based program helps women change old patterns and transform their lives through:
Education
Education is an important part of a full recovery. We work with our long-term residents to help them get started or continue with their educational programs, including GEDs, college and more.
Employment Readiness
Finding a job is difficult, especially when you are homeless. Residence have full-access to our Learning Center where they are supported and encouraged in a hunt for a job.
Spiritual support and Counseling
Our professionally trained staff work together to make sure residents have the foundation and spiritual support they need to address their life-long struggles. They utilize Bible study, individual/group counseling and other classes.
Addiction Recovery
Maintaining sobriety in a world that embraces sin and temptation is increasingly difficult. Residents attend weekly Celebrate Recovery meetings on-site to help them stay on track.
Parenting/Life skills
Many women have spent their entire lives making self-destructive choices that are passed down to their children. Our staff strives to properly equip participants with the tools to develop healthy relationships and raise their children with the love of Christ.
Food/Clothing/Healthcare
Recovery is difficult enough without worrying about the physical needs for yourself and your child. New Faith Program participants have access to three meals a day, our free clothing ministry and they visit our medical clinic regularly.
