Hope Center has established a process that helps the staff make the decisions of who is eligible to become a resident. New residents become part of a community, and it is vital that this community remain healthy.

The interview process includes a preliminary phone interview to determine eligibility. Those who are eligible will proceed to a face-to-face interview.

Here are some of the factors involved.
- We are looking for women who have a deep desire to make life-style changes in order to achieve long-term goals.
- The women observe a nightly curfew.
- They will be in community and share in maintaining the household.
- Everyone is part of the weekly staff/resident dinner and Bible study.
- All women attend a religious service of their choice.
