Both facilities are single family homes. The women’s home has five bedrooms, and is fully furnished and modern. The bedrooms are usually shared between two clients, however there are times when private accommodations are available. The program provides all linens and towels, and there is a washer and dryer on site available for client use.
Male reside in apartment style housing three blocks out from the beach. Similar to the women’s facility, clients usually share bedrooms but may be in a private room if they are available.
