Karis Community's mission is to provide a community where people can heal together. Karis is the only community model residential program of its kind serving individuals managing serious and persistent mental illness. Our program offers individual check-ins, six weekly support group meetings, community meals, household supplies, utilities, and onsite mental health services. Most of our Community Members are individuals with financial resources below the poverty line; many have managed homelessness at some point in their lifetime. Nearly all Members utilize public support, such as Medicaid and Social Security benefits, to assist in their recovery process. We are passionate about keeping our program fees low to allow individuals of all incomes access to our life-changing program. The goals of the Karis Community Empowerment Program are: - To help Community Members develop skills for symptom management, healthy coping, and independent living.  - To provide an environment that offers structure, safety, self-worth, and self-efficacy.  - To support Community Members to live a meaningful, fulfilling life at Karis and beyond.
