About Us
BAM HOUSE HISTORY
Our mission began in 2005 with the vision to provide transitional housing and supportive services for adult men from substance abuse, mental illness and homelessness; while sharing our love for Jesus Christ.
BAM House developed BAM Building Maintenance Services and BAM Foods as a means to financially support our efforts while providing paid on the job training for BAM House residents.
We provided Food service for special events and festivals and we provided contracted building maintenance and repairs for customers and supporters at discounted rates.
Bam House established reputation as a strict tough love program while helping beneficiaries to achieve their goals.
Our grass-roots efforts helped us to keep our doors open with a minimum operating budget.
We continuously fulfilled our mission by providing our residents with tools to become self-sufficient; which empowered them to pay their own program fees.
No one was turned away due to inability to pay. Our organization solely relied on the financial support of donors and payment of program fees by the residents we served.
