An individual had come to Faith House Florida this spring to become a resident. This individual worked the program as created by the Resident Care Coordinator. While the Resident Care Coordinator suggested otherwise, this individual decided they were ready to take the next step in the healing process by moving out.
After several months, this individual called and spoke to a Resident Care Coordinator. The last question asked of this individual was, "Do you want to come home?"
Upon returning to Faith House Florida, the individual said that when the conversation ended, this individual cried for 10 minutes. It was because of the question; "Do you want to come home?"
A few days later, a member of the board of directors for Faith House Florida, saw a former resident while in a business in the community. This individual left Faith House Florida because of their failure to follow the guidelines.
There was a pleasant conversation as this director and resident had worked together on several repair projects at Faith House Florida. The director, not knowing the conditions of this resident's leaving, said, "I miss being at Faith House".
The director asked the individual, "Do you want to come home?"
"Yes", was the answer, "but I can't".
The director placed a call to Faith House and the former resident was invited to contact their Resident Care Coordinator about "coming home".
Some see Faith House Florida as a treatment center; some have called it a halfway house. Faith House Florida is an important part of an individual's healing, and they call it "home".
