The 4 -E Framework
Freedom requires a multi-step approach which includes stable housing, resources, and people who believe in second chances. The 1ninety-nine program is designed to provide this support through our 4-E Framework:
Engage: Meet survivors where they are.
Equip: Life Skills, Mentorship, Self-Care, Community Services.
Empower: Job Readiness, Education, Vocation Training.
Elevate: Community Reintegration and Giving Back.
Program Overview
Our 2 Year - 2 Phase Approach
Phase 1: Engage & Equip
Engage & Equip is the foundation phase of the 1ninety-nine program, where participants begin rebuilding stability and preparing for independent living. During this stage, participants live in Selah House, our 4-bed transitional home that provides safety, structure, and space for healing. While in Engage & Equip, participants receive job readiness training, obtain essential documents such as identification or a driver’s license, and connect with community wrap-around services that support their physical, emotional, and practical needs. Each participant is also matched with a mentor who provides encouragement and consistent relational support as they develop the confidence and skills needed to move toward independence.

Phase 2: Empower & Elevate

After completing Phase 1, participants may apply to Phase 2 in order to transition into affordable independent housing while continuing to receive supportive mentorship and trauma-informed care. During this stage, participants pursue long-term goals such as career advancement, potential higher education, and financial autonomy while remaining connected to counseling, support groups, and spiritual community through church engagement. Empower & Elevate ensures participants continue to be supported mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as they build stable, sustainable, and purpose-filled lives.
