A staff member lives in the building to assist new students in performing household chores such as cooking meals, doing laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. until they feel comfortable performing these tasks independently.
Living in the student apartments benefits students in several ways. Firstly, it allows students to practice the cooking and household management skills that they are learning in Home Management classes. Secondly, it allows them to live near both their fellow students and people who are not involved with the program. This allows students to spend time together outside of class, share experiences, and develop friendships while remaining part of the larger community. Thirdly, students have the opportunity to develop their travel skills by taking the bus or walking to and from the center each day.
