Tenants will pay rent and live independently, but as you can imagine, making the transition from being homeless to being housed is a big step. Support is needed to help tenants with their transition to stability so The Mustard Seed will provide physical, mental and spiritual support. Services for tenants will focus on the areas of employment, addictions and more. Mentorship will also be provided on how to develop life skills, for example, in the areas of budgeting, shopping and setting appropriate boundaries.
We’ve just housed three people this week and we are very excited! Together, we know that we will be able to help with growing hope and supporting change in their lives. Just one thing – we haven’t named the building. Our staff have tried coming up with one but we haven’t landed on a name. Have any ideas on what we could call our new building?

What about something like "Providence Place"? I think Providence discribes both the kind of intentional, wrap-around care that will be provided by the Seed, as well as naming God's involvement in residents finding housing.
