What is Mission LIFE?
Mission L.I.F.E. – Leading Individuals to Fulfilling Employment: Our daytime support program, Mission LIFE, centers on community presence and engagement, job exploration, employment assistance and supported employment opportunities.
Currently offered in the northeast area of Houston, we provide full- and part-time daytime supports with a majority of the time spent in the community.
Program Details
Whether it’s shopping, creative arts, volunteering, eating lunch with friends, taking a trip to the museum, or practicing money management by purchasing snacks, meals, or knick knacks during outings, each day brings new opportunities to learn, socialize, have fun, and live their best life possible.
Volunteerism & Fun Field Trips and Activities
Through education and exposure to new experiences, each person is engaged through various methodologies. Community integration is a key component. Whether learning to socialize with peers at the YMCA, volunteering at the local animal shelter, delivering food for Meals on Wheels, or participating in a Zumba class at the community center, the men and women of the program engage with the greater community and build skills in various areas of their lives with a focus of employment.
Hands-On Training
They can then build confidence in their mastery of various skills through practical on-the-job practice as we volunteer in our local community. An emphasis on each individual’s employment path guides the skills we focus on led by the overall plan development.
Employment Assistance
Our Employment Assistance program is a crucial part of our Mission LIFE program, as our focus is on competitive employment and following one’s employment path to achieve their employment goals.
No matter the skill level, Mission Lifers get to experience activities of their choice that help to enrich their days and make a meaningful difference in their lives.
Payment Options
Bloom Consulting is an approved HCS provider and works with The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to provide home and community-based services to eligible Texans so they can live and thrive in their communities.
Our Mission LIFE program is currently offered on a private pay basis as well as HCS funding. Half days start at $50.00 per day and full days start at $100.00 per day. A discount is given for full-time, full-week participation.
For a nominal fee of $20, Mission LIFE transportation is provided for clients to and from the program assuming the client lives in the Lake Houston area (Atascocita, Kingwood, and Humble).
