The T.A.T.E. program provides assessments, interpersonal skills, employability skills, and computer training for those participants interested in job readiness skills and employment placement.  One-third of the people in BEIT are individuals who are dually diagnosed.  We place persons in government subsidized housing where there is an array of services addressing the scars left from abusive drugs.  The individuals and families must remain drug free for services to continue.  BEIT is a Jewish term which means house.
