Renewal House is home to 25 adults identifying as men who each have their own studio, but truly live in a community environment. Because of the success of this program, it recently evolved from transitional to permanent supportive housing. The residents have access to case management services that promote harm reduction and employment.

Clients take the lead in setting their goals and work with staff on occupational, recreational, and socialization therapy combined with practical skills like money management and cooking skills. Catering to the specific needs and interests of the residents, programs have developed including sports events, holiday celebrations, and meditation groups.
