Mission

MIDLAND INTERFAITH HOSPITALITY NETWORK (MIHN) - THE MIHN IS A PARTNERSHIP OF CONGREGATIONS/COMPANIES/VOLUNTEER GROUPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY HELPING FAMILIES WHO ARE FACING HOMELESSNESS. MIHN USES EXISTING COMMUNITY RESOURCES TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES TO FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. THIS UNIQUE COMMUNITY RESPONSE OFFERS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR VOLUNTEERS TO BE ON THE FRONT LINE OF MIDLAND'S EFFORT TO REDUCE HOMELESSNESS WHILE TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF FAMILIES IN NEED. THE MIHN PROGRAM MAY SERVE UP TO 4 FAMILIES AT A TIME. WHILE IN THE PROGRAM, THE ADULTS ARE REQUIRED TO WORK FULL-TIME, GO TO SCHOOL FULL-TIME, OR A COMBINATION THEREOF. FAMILIES WORK WITH A CASE MANAGER ON SHORT-TERM OBJECTIVES, OBTAINING LONG-TERM GOALS. ALL FAMILIES HAVE CREDIT REPORTS RUN AND THEN BEGIN THE TASKS OF INCREASING THEIR CREDIT SCORES, WHILE REDUCING DEBT. IN ADDITION, ALL FAMILIES ARE REQUIRED TO SAVE 80% OF THEIR EARNED INCOME IN THEIR OWN BANK ACCOUNTS. PARENTS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO ATTEND MONTH
