My biggest problem with the City Mission is that most of the programs are oriented towards men... BUT don't let that deter you from calling them as a family and utilizing their expertise and help. While only men can reside at the Mission, they do provide areas/homes for women and children also.
If you are in need and down on your luck, this is a place to go to for help.
It is Christian based and they do try to instill Christ in their clients, but since the majority of the world is also Christian based I don't see a problem with that.
Some may say they are a little strict... I think it's more so that they don't take any disturbances. They give you rules, you follow them, they provide you with a warm place to sleep, clothes, food and help to get you back on your feet.
You are not alone.... ask them for help.
This is also a wonderful resource for locals to give of their time. They can always use volunteers.
