VETERANS WITH HOUSING INSECURITY
Veterans tend to experience homelessness longer than their non-veteran peers. Research shows that the greatest risk factors for homelessness are lack of support and social isolation after discharge. Social networks are particularly important for those who have a crisis or need temporary help. Without this assistance, they are at high risk for homelessness.
HUD shows that female veterans are two to three times more likely to suffer homelessness than any other group in the US adult population.
Half suffer from mental illness, two-thirds suffer from substance abuse problems, and many from dual diagnosis.
Veterans between the ages of 18 and 30 are twice as likely as adults in the general population to experience housing insecurity.
Justice Involved / Re-entry
We help reunite families.
We provide housing for non-violent offenders who committed a crime while under the influence.
Drug courts encourage the use of medication-assisted treatment (MAT), to help participants recover from substance use disorder, thereby reducing future criminal activity. We are a Level II home and allow these medications. We believe addiction is a disease that can be cured.
We understand the problems the justice-involved can have, finding suitable housing. We know that your addiction does not define you.
Don't roll the Dice
Live in a beautiful space you know you’ll love, with screened housemates and none of the usual homesharing hassle.
We provide housing security so that people experiencing difficulties in life, have safe and structured housing. First, they are in a new, maybe better neighborhood and away from the triggers that were negative. Secondly, through shared housing, they have fellowship with others in a similar situation , supporting and encouraging each other.
We provide an environment that is ideal for them to really focus on their recovery or
whatever their challenges are. They learn that they can also support others, that they can develop into the best version of themselves.
