Our Mission

While many children experience a lifetime of loving support from an available and caring parent, family and others in their lives and will continue in adulthood to experience that gift, many do not.  

At Makarios Rez, rezidents find a place where they can encounter the gift of loving support in their lives, as well. They live with others on the same path and trajectory.  Residential mentors live in the home alongside rezidents to provide daily investment and modeling of how to create a supportive and community-driven environment.

Makarios Rez provides a transitional, secure and affordable housing option for a marginalized group, specifically individuals who have experienced foster care, have aged out of foster care, or have experienced homelessness. With the support of the Makarios Rez community, our rezidents experience safety and security while considering a transformed life.

As a Christ-centered home, Makarios Rez invests in those who voluntarily agree to a mentoring program that may last for two or more years.  Makarios Rez provides intentional mentoring in many areas including:

• Life Skills

• Financial Control

• Workforce Viability

• Relational Skills

• Community Benefit

• Spiritual Awareness

With a diversity of multiple training opportunities, residents can determine their own sustainable, stable future. Through mentoring, rezidents are supported in achieving the skills necessary to thrive in their lives and to properly address all of life’s challenges.  Rezidents are afforded opportunities to choose transformation of their past or present circumstances to achieve a well-balanced outlook for their future.
