Recovery Housing Program
Early on we saw an opportunity to make an even greater impact on the recovery of the men and women we were working with. Wanting to provide the best chance at recovery we introduced recovery housing and coaching scholarships in 2015.
Since that time, 599 scholarships have been awarded. In 2019, 72% of our recipients achieved a minimum of 90 days in sobriety.
