Our Program
Phase 1
Phase 1 is the heart of New Way’s program and the starting point for every woman who comes to live with us.
Over the course of six months, we invite each mother to step away from the pressures of work and school so she can fully focus on the foundational components of healing, rebuilding, and creating a safe, stable future for herself and her children.
This time is devoted to building a felt sense of safety and trust, strengthening parent-child connections, and nurturing personal growth and life skills. To support each residents journey, we provide in-house daycare during the four required 90-minute classes each week—ensuring every mother has the space and support she needs to thrive.

Phase 2
Phase 2 is where hope turns into momentum, as each woman begins actively shaping her future.
Building on the healing and growth from Phase 1, this phase can last up to 18 months and offers a supportive, stable environment where residents take their next steps forward—adding at least 20 hours per week of work or school into their routines.
While pursuing education or employment, participants continue developing and practicing vital life and relational skills—like budgeting, time management, and healthy communication. Community involvement also becomes an important part of this phase, helping each woman feel connected, valued, and established with a support network that will bolster lasting stability.

Phase 3
Phase 3—known as Next Steps—offers a bridge to lasting independence for families who need a little more time and support.
Available by invitation, this graduate program is designed for women who have completed Phases 1 and 2 and would benefit from extended time to reach their personal and financial goals.
Over the course of 1 to 2 additional years, participants live in one of seven self-contained apartments on our campus, transitioning into a more independent lifestyle while still remaining connected to the support of the New Way community.
To qualify for Next Steps, residents must be working or attending school full-time, or balancing a combination of part-time work and education. This phase provides the space, structure, and encouragement needed to solidify stability and confidently move forward into self-sustained living.
