Our Project, Magdalene Transitional Housing and Training Facility is a NEW project serving men and women confing out of an initial substance abuse recovery program. This program sponsored in part by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is an innovative venture for the city of Port Arthur. By living in a transitional housing facility with supportive services we believe this will give the homeless and economically disadvantaged the best opportunity to become self-sufficient and productive members of society. Port Cities Rescue Mission will utilize the facility at 530 Waco to construct a new 18 bed facility for homeless men and women where they can receive counseling, GED and computer literacy training and job placement assistance at one site for period of not less than 6-9 months. The rehabilitation cost for this project will be the responsibility of Mission, to include ADA restrooms and showers. We ask that you place this request with high priority on the agenda you are presenting to the council, as a monitor from HUD in Ft. Worth will tour the site on April 28* 2003.
