My Father's House

m_mfh2 MOSAIC PARTNERS WITH MY FATHER'S House Community Shelter to come alongside homeless families, both in the shelter and after they transition back into the community.

My Father’s House seeks to reclaim homeless families by helping them acquire the life skills necessary to become independent and productive. They provide a safe community where families can experience Christ’s love and acceptance. More than 3,064 families are homeless on any given night in Multnomah County. Over half this population are children. MFH is the only shelter that takes families with children up to age 18 and is expanding its facilities to house 120 families each year. For more information about MFH, check out their website: www.mfhshelter.org.

Flexible time commitment. Preferably once a week to every other week.
Spend regular one-on-one time encouraging a resident or child. This begins after a relationship has been built through volunteering on a regular basis.

Life Groups: Mentor a Family
Commit for one year.
Life groups, commit to mentor one family for a year after they leave MFH. Develop relationships with them and coach them in the areas of family life, finances, employment, faith, etc. Work with the family as they learn to utilize resources and become self-sufficient, reinforcing what was taught at MFH.
