MIDDLEBORO — A 77-bed transitional facility that will house people who were formerly incarcerated, aged out of foster care or facing housing insecurity is scheduled to open Wednesday, Oct. 26.

Moving Mountains, which will be located at 332 Marion Road, will help residents “learn to live independently,’’ said Meredith Ruff, who owns the house with Jason McLeod.

The clientele will extend beyond the usual transitional housing population of people struggling to overcome addiction, she said. “There’s not a lot out there for everybody else,’’ Ruff said.

Another difference between this site and other transitional housing is its connection to vocational training and other life skills education through the People Affecting Community Change facility in Brockton, she said.

Residents will be transported to the Brockton program to learn skills that will help them find jobs that pay a “living wage,’’ McLeod said. The “inability to receive a living wage’’ is one reason that transitional housing can be a “revolving door’’ because people are unable to support themselves, he said.

People Affecting Community Change has also applied for a grant to help secure clients’ futures, Ruff said. The grant, Ruff noted, would provide those who successfully complete the program with a down payment on a home or first and last month’s rent to help them find a secure living situation.

Potential clients will be screened to ensure they are a good fit for the program. “We don’t just take anyone,’’ Ruff said. Clients are accepted on a “case by case basis.’’

The house and a separate home across the street will be staffed at all times with professionals who are experienced in dealing with the issues that clients will be facing. “They have experience not just with the successes but the failures’’ that people can face, she said.

“We’re not naive to think there are not going to be problems,’’ she said. But by hiring the right staff, she said they are staying ahead of potential issues.

Ruff said she understands neighbors might be uncertain about the new business and acknowledged she has heard some concerns. She said that traditional housing is often “not supervised’’ or “not well-kept,’’ but this one will be.

The house will not accept sex offenders or anyone with a criminal history involving children, she said. No substance use or weapons are allowed on site and anyone breaking these rules will immediately be expelled, she said. 

She encouraged the community to attend a ribbon cutting ceremony at the facility from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26.

By visiting and asking questions, “we hope and think they will be much more comfortable having this kind of institution near them.’’

“We’re not trying to hide anything,’’ Ruff said. “We’re proud of what we’ve built.’’

The facility, she said, has gone through all necessary permitting processes. She said she has had positive interactions with town officials. 

McLeod hopes the facility’s focus on job training to provide better prospects for clients will set them apart.

“We’re super excited about it,’’ he said. The house, he hopes, “will be a model across Massachusetts and across the country.’’
