The eligibility criteria can vary based on the specific program or service. Generally, services are designed to support women with children who are facing homelessness or unstable housing situations. Here are some common criteria:
1. To qualify for our housing program, the applicant must be a mother who has one or more dependent children and holds legal custody of them.
2. The applicant must be facing homelessness, which could include living in a shelter, on the streets, in a vehicle, or in a place not meant for habitation.
3. The applicant will need to demonstrate a willingness to participate in WPMC services, which include mental health education, financial literacy training, and other supportive programs.
4. Certain programs may necessitate the applicant to meet specific income levels or be dealing with particular issues, like recovery from substance abuse.
Please note that these are general guidelines, and the exact criteria can vary. It's always best to contact us directly for the most accurate information.

Our housing duration can vary based on the specific needs and progress of each individual. However, we would like to provide our families with up to two-year temporary housing. The goal of the program is not just to provide temporary shelter but to equip mothers with the skills and resources they need to achieve long-term stability and independence.

C3 Home's focus is on serving the community of Gary, Indiana. However, our services are accessible to non-residents based on the organization's capacity and the specific needs of the individual. If we are unable to provide assistance to non-residents, we will refer them to similar services in their own communities. Remember, the goal of C3 Home is to help as many women and children in need as possible, and we do our best to provide guidance and support, regardless of where someone is from.
