Kairos Program
The Kairos program provides a supportive community for formerly homeless men with chronic illnesses.  The men have access to medical care, case management, meals and counseling.  The program combines a sense of family with service work through a 12-step spiritual recovery program. 

Kairos House provides a permanent home for up to 41 formerly homeless men creating an environment where they can work and live together in a place which supports their continued growth.  This sense of community is integral to the success of the Kairos Program.  Fifteen more men will be offered the opportunity to permanently end homelessness through the planned Kairos Program expansion. 

Members of the staff at Kairos House include a housing manager, a medical assistant/case manager, pastoral counselors, an addictions counselor, an addictions technician, receptionists, and custodians.  Many of these positions are filled by men who are a part of the Kairos House resident community.  Several other Kairos House residents work at nearby Christ House or serve on the Christ House Board of Directors.
