Yes, the men pay a fee as they are able based on their income.

At Earl’s Place, residents are charged a monthly program fee that does not exceed 30% of their income with a maximum monthly charge of $200; for those without income the fee is waived. For those where the 30% exceeds $200, the balance is placed in savings for their use when they move.

Prospect Place has project-based vouchers funded by the Federal government. The residents pay 30% of their income for rent, the balance is paid by the voucher.

We feel, and I hope you do as well, that the burden of financing our programs should not fall on the recipients of the services.

Many years ago, Earl Johnson visited his local soup kitchen and started a movement. As a man living on the streets, he raised awareness of the plight of all our brothers and sisters struggling to find food to eat and a place to sleep. Inspired by him, a network of concerned citizens stepped up to do more for those in need. Though he didn’t live to see the results of his inspiration, thanks to those initial volunteers and many others, Cornerstone Community Housing continues to provide hope and housing to men like Earl.
