A Life Line to Homeless Men for 25 Years.

Matthew 25 had its beginning in 1985 thanks to the combined efforts of Fletch Coke and Ames Davis from Christ Church Cathedral and the late Cotton Clark and Sue Spickard from First Presbyterain Church. The founders recognized the need for more structured housing for working homeless men, than the night-by-night programs that were being offered at the time. Their combined efforts resulted in the creation of a place where homeless men could work, return to a place they could temporarily call home, and there, with the help of a caring staff , they would be taught the skills they needed to live more effective lives.

	1985 - Matthew 25 opened its doors at 8th and Broadway with 22 beds.
	1992 – Matthew 25 relocated to Vine Hill Towers and expanded t 50 beds.
	2004 – Matthew 25 began providing permanent apartments to graduates via The Progressive Housing Program.
