Elijah Family Homes participants must abide by established policies and:
- seek employment or job training
- participate in substance-abuse testing
- attend EFH and recovery meetings.
The top priority of EFH is providing rent subsidies. Rent subsidies for EFH cost an average of $5,000 per family per year. Tenants share rent costs with sliding scale payments. A second priority for EFH is to offer resources for tenants to have:
- education and employment assistance
- mentors, tutors and role models
- accountability and fiscal responsibility
- mandatory random drug urinalysis tests
- monthly family activities
