Facilities
Aridell Mitchell Home
The Aridell Mitchell Home is
a transitional home that meets the needs of teen
parents through semi-independent living. Our goal is
to assist the parents as they become productive
adults.
The building, owned by Goodwill
Missionary Baptist Church, had previously served as
individual apartment homes but had lapsed into
disrepair. In 1990 the church decided to dedicate
the abandoned building to the community. A Board of
Directors was organized with the help of Sharon Lee,
who now serves as director of the Low Income Housing
Institute (LEHI). A 501-C3 non-profit organization
was formed to begin operating a transition home for
teen mothers. The Aridell Mitchell Home was named
after the late wife of the founder of Goodwill
Missionary Baptist Church.
It is crucial for teen parents to
have a stable environment in which to live and raise
their children without fear and instability.
The Aridell Mitchell Home is a
place where they can learn life skills as well as
academic achievement. There are six two-bedroom
apartments for teen families. Each resident is
assisted in adopting a plan for independent living,
education or work training and is linked to
resources that will aid in achieving their goals.
Our goal is to assist them as they become productive
adults.
