Additionally, it supports the successful and equitable development of the Northside Cultural & Business District by addressing Northside Neighborhood economic development and entrepreneurship.

Recovery and Resiliency Trauma Center of HOPE

The Recovery and Resiliency Trauma Center of HOPE currently provides safe, temporary, transitional housing and wrap-around support services for men who have been deeply impacted by Addiction, Substance Use Disorder, gun violence, homelessness, and/or incarceration. The first 90 days are free, and after that the rent is $300 per month. Residents are able to stay up to one year; however, we do not turn anyone away if they are not quite ready. There is a shared communal space where meetings are held weekly, helping to build community and a system of support for residents living in the home.
