Searcy Center

A one-year residential program, plus aftercare — the Searcy Center provides a Christ-centered community for men, women, and families seeking life transformation. Residents find hope and stability through counseling, life-skills training, parenting support, education, job readiness, and spiritual growth.

About the Program

The Searcy Center is a protected, compassionate community that helps men, women, and their families facing life insecurities such as homelessness, addiction, abuse, incarceration, and trauma. Through faith in God, residents find hope, healing, and restoration — discovering the purpose and wholeness they were created for. Residents find stability through counseling, spiritual growth, education, and practical training that prepares them for lasting independence and transformation.

Rehabilitation

We offer rehabilitation for men and women who are ready to take the steps toward lasting transformation. Through relapse prevention courses, counseling, and personalized guidance, residents learn to overcome life-dominating struggles. The program also partners with local agencies to strengthen families, prevent separation, and support reunification whenever possible.

Education

We offer men and women the opportunity to obtain their high school diploma through our new High School Diploma course. Through our partnership with Fresno City College, residents are enrolled as non-credited college students as they pursue their high school diploma, with the opportunity to continue their college education after obtaining it.
