This facility provides hope to those transitioning back into life after substance use, incarceration and homelessness. They provide a safe, drug free therapeutic environment that prepares men for reintegration into society and lasting recovery.

Three housing programs are available. This includes residential recovery programs, veteran programs and permanent supportive living programs. The latter provides affordable permanent residences for previously incarcerated individuals affected by mental illness or substance use disorder. Meanwhile, the veterans program offers short term, supportive housing to homeless veterans or those at risk of homelessness. The residential recovery program is the main transitional housing program for men in recovery. This highly structured housing program focuses on behavior modification.
To participate in this program you must commit to sober living and be willing to obtain or maintain employment. You must also commit to attending the Steps House Day program for the first 5 days as well as daily 12 Step meetings. The program lasts nine to 12 months depending on your unique needs.
If you want to achieve the highest level of independence, then consider the permanent supportive living program. This grants you a private room in a group house with shared bathrooms, a kitchen and laundry among others. Keep in mind that you must be homeless, previously incarcerated and affected by mental health issues or addiction to participate in this program. Comments from past clients reflect an overwhelmingly positive experience and impressive quality of care.
