​Application Process for Currently Incarcerated Applicants:

  2. Facility Staff should email the completed form to the Pre-Enrollment Coordinator.

  3. The Pre-Enrollment Coordinator will respond with the most current and accurate application via email and request to schedule an interview with the Executive Director.

  4. The applicant will complete a phone interview with the Executive Director, afterwards, he will inform the Pre-Enrollment Coordinator if the application has been accepted or denied. 

  5. The Pre-Enrollment Coordinator will reach out to Facility Staff with the applicant's acceptance or denial letter. 

    1. Letters of acceptance state that should the applicant's parole plan be accepted and a bed is available, they will be allowed to move in upon their release

      1. Christlife Ministries Staff cannot give permission or advocate for applicants to parole to our programs, especially out-of-county clients, this decision is ultimately at the discretion of parole.

  6. Parole should conduct a Pre-Parole Investigation and inform Christlife Ministries of the applicant's expected release date. 

    1. The Pre-Enrollment Coordinator will note the expected release date and assign a bed hold. This hold will remain in effect until one week after the expected release date. If the client does not move into the bed within this timeframe without prior arrangements, the hold will be released and given to the next applicant, so it is important that any changes be reported to staff.
