Goal-Setting Support

Each resident works with us to identify meaningful goals when they enter the home, whether that includes connecting with treatment, attending recovery meetings, finding employment, accessing EBT/LINK benefits, applying for housing assistance, or addressing other personal needs. We then conduct regular check-ins to see how things are progressing, identify any barriers, and provide support along the way.

Structure and independence

One of the primary characteristics of this program is that we believe in balancing support and independence. We believe in responsibility, self-sufficiency, and accountability as key pillars of long-term success in recovery. Because of this, we structure the program to keep individuals accountable while giving them free rein to decide how to reach their goals. We do things with people, not for them.

Community, peers, and family

We take the culture of our houses seriously and believe in the power of proximity. We take heed to the warning in Proverbs 13:20: “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” This program uses the peer model of recovery. We believe in bringing people together who want to build their lives and their community up.
