EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT GUEST SERVICES (EOGS) IS THE HISTORICAL BEDROCK PROGRAM OF HELPING UP MISSION, INC., AND HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 1885. HOMELESS MEN CHECK IN NIGHTLY AND ARE PROVIDED WITH ACCESS TO PRIVATE SHOWERS, NEW CLOTHING, HOT MEALS FOR DINNER AND BREAKFAST, AND A MESSAGE OF HOPE THAT "REAL AND PERMANENT" CHANGE IS POSSIBLE IF THEY DESIRE TO MAKE A CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES. THE OVERNIGHT GUESTS ARE SERVED BY AND INTERACT WITH THE CLIENTS IN OUR 12-MONTH SPIRITUAL RECOVERY PROGRAM, ALLOWING THE OVERNIGHT GUESTS TO SEE POSITIVE CHANGES IN THE LIVES OF MEN FORMERLY SHARING SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. OVERNIGHT GUESTS OFTEN CHOOSE TO JOIN THE YEAR-LONG SPIRITUAL RECOVERY PROGRAM. THE CORNERSTONE OF HELPING UP MISSION, INC. IS THE SPIRITUAL RECOVERY PROGRAM (SRP), PROVIDING HELP, HOPE, ANSWERS, AND EMPOWERMENT TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM ADDICTION, HOMELESSNESS AND MENTAL ILLNESS. THE SRP IS A MULTIFACETED, HOLISTIC, INTEGRATED, 12-MONTH, RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PROMOTE LONG-TERM RECOVERY FOR HOMELESS MEN WITH SEVERE DRUG AND/OR ALCOHOL RELATED SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES. PARTICIPANTS LIVE IN A 12-STEP THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY, FOSTERING A RESTORATIVE CULTURE OF WELLNESS AND HEALING. THE SRP FOCUSES ON FOUR KEY AREAS TO SUPPORT A MATURE, PRODUCTIVE LIFE: PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, SPIRITUAL AND SOCIAL. AS A NON-PROFIT PROGRAM, THE SRP IS NOT FUNDED BY THE STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, BUT RATHER, DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THE GENEROSITY OF PEOPLE WILLING TO GIVE HOMELESS AND ADDICTED MEN A CHANCE AT RECOVERY AND RESTORED LIVES.OUR GRADUATE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM (GTHP), ALSO CALLED THE HOUSE OF FREEDOM, IS THE FINAL STAGE OF THE TRANSFORMATIVE PROCESS. IN THIS PROGRAM, FORMERLY HOMELESS MEN LIVE IN LONG-TERM (UP TO 24 MONTHS) HOUSING THAT PREPARES THEM TO RE-ENTER THE COMMUNITY. THE "HEART" OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE BALTIMORE'S RECOVERING HOMELESS MEN WITH A SAFE, ENCOURAGING, MUTUALLY SUPPORTIVE AND SPIRITUALLY NURTURING ENVIRONMENT. BY LIVING WITHIN A THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY, MEN ARE BETTER EQUIPPED TO REGAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE - AND KEEP IT. HERE, EACH MAN IS KNOWN BY HIS "NEIGHBORS, AND HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE STANDARD OF LIVING ESTABLISHED IN THE SPIRITUAL RECOVERY PROGRAM.OUR WORK IS EVIDENCE-BASED, OUTCOMES-DRIVEN, AND ROOTED IN RESEARCH.
