The Milestone House
On this Page
We introduce the Milestone House program, a structured transitional living environment for young men (18+) to master the essential skills required for a successful journey into post-secondary education and independent employment.
Empowering Independence: Transformative Transitional Living for Young Men, (18+)
The Milestone House provides a supportive, family-style environment where young men transition from structured care to true independence. This program is designed to bridge the gap between adolescent support and adult responsibility, facilitating personal growth through shared community engagement, academic focus, and professional mentorship
The Program
An individualized program focused on mentorship and tailored scaffolding to meet each young man’s unique talents and abilities.
By providing a structured path forward, they unlock their full potential and gain the clarity they need to face their future with confidence.
Our comprehensive approach includes:
- Individual and group support
- Close collaboration with family and friends
- Cultivation of new friends and peers
- Support that weathers the storms of life.
The Home
Managed by a dedicated married couple, the home hosts up to six students (ages 18+) in a nurturing, family-like setting.
This safe and supportive environment allows residents to focus on their personal growth while practicing the social skills essential to thrive.
To foster independence, residents enjoy:
- Shared and private bedrooms and bathrooms
- A healthy, family-like environment
- Practice age-appropriate life skills
- Management of individual responsibility
Responsibilities
Residents actively contribute to the home, fostering a sense of ownership and community, while learning skills they need to excel.
These daily routines help young men build the self-reliance and discipline necessary to transition to independent living.
Residents take pride in their home by:
- Participating in weekly deep cleaning
- Learning meal planning and preparation
- Practicing essential daily living skills
- Mentoring newer residents as they join the community
Our transition home is more than just a place to stay; it is a community and a family-like environment designed to support individuals on their journey to self-improvement and empowerment. By sharing responsibilities and living together in a structured environment, students develop valuable life skills that contribute to their overall well-being and success.
