Provide a summary of the project or program:
           SuperMen For Christ is a nonprofit organization focused on community support and restoration of men. The history of our organization is that we began as an outreach initiative feeding the less fortunate in our community. We also held after school and summer camps for the children. From that we began to peer into the home and family environment. Each step to offer a solution to one problem uncovered another. Eventually we noticed the despair and brokenness of the men in our community. Our focus became that of trying to strengthen our community and families by restoring and redeeming the men in our community. We launched the "Kingdom House" and our "Kingdom Man Program" to assist men with housing and a program that will build character and stability. During the man's stay at one of our Kingdom Houses men are provided case management, employment & educational resources as well as discipleship classes. While staying at our homes men will learn much needed skills to become productive members of our society. WE plan to work closely with families, law enforcement, probation & parole and the community to bring about a desired change in the lives of these men.
