FAQ

How long is the intake process?
Answer

It depends on the motivation of the applicant. It can be from 2 to 6 weeks.

What is the cost?
Answer

Life Challenge asks residents to provide $500.00 a month to support their stay. However, we understand that some residents cannot support their stay due to financial hardships. Therefore, we ask the applicant or her family to donate what they can monthly. We have never turned away a person in need because of lack of financial funding. The only thing that is required is a $200 entrance fee, $100 for a bus ticket in case the applicant decides to leave, and $100 for the applicants personal account.
