What We Do
Emergency Housing
A safe, stable shelter for qualified families as a first step toward independent living.
Professional guidance in a stable environment
So much more than a homeless shelter: the first step to an independent life.
ECTLC has spent decades successfully working with addicts, the homeless, and the broken. Our emergency housing is the first step in providing stability by meeting the physical needs of families through housing, routine meals, clothing, and more. Free from the stress of living in a car or on the street, they now have a safe environment where the focus is on developing a plan with a professional counselor. Within 28 days, life becomes clearer and parents are able to make positive decisions about their family’s future.
The next step to recovery and complete independence is enrolling in one of our long-term, faith-based programs.

Our 3-day program offers emergency shelter for individuals without children
If you have the desire to change, we can help you.
The street or a car was never intended to be someone’s home. Since our beginning in 2009 we have helped thousands of men and women overcome unforeseen circumstances, and poor life-choices.
For 3 days, participants can sleep in a warm bed, eat 3 meals a day, take showers, and be offered the chance for a new life through our long-term program options. This is the beginning for those who are truly ready to start over.
