our project vision is to Create a life-changing campus and program that serves the recovery, restoration, and reunification needs of women and their families.
Expanding our Ability to Serve
By launching our very first Capital Campaign, we look to create a recovery campus and expand our ability to offer Phase II housing to our residents graduating from our program, allowing them the stability they need in early sobriety, particularly women with children. This will also open beds earlier in our Phase I program and allow us to reach the next person seeking recovery from substance use/misuse faster.
Our Goal OF RAISING $4.4 MILLION helps us:
Increase housing and parking for residents (Phase I - 5 units with 9 beds and Phase II - 9 units with 18 beds)
Update and expand the Carriage House, to include Community Meeting space, Classrooms, 12-Step Meeting space (offering childcare), Hospitality Facilities, and much more
Remove barriers to securing acceptable housing for people new in recovery
Offer space for women with children who lack family support that would also meet Child Protective Services approval
Overcome the barrier we face as an abstinence-based recovery program in securing state and federal funding
Helping our community and saving lives is why we do this work
The Unmet Need of Phase II Housing
and Why We Need Outside Help
Barriers to Securing Acceptable Housing
• Poor rental history due to active addiction
• Low credit scores
• High debt to utility providers
• Scarcity of affordable, safe rentals
Women with Children: Unique Challenges
• Affordable, acceptable housing that is suitable for children
• Lack of parenting skills and family support
• Requirement for CPS to monitor/approve proposed housing
Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT)
• SRN maintains an abstinence-based recovery approach
• Government funding is primarily available for evidence-based, medication assisted treatment (methadone, suboxone, sublocade, etc.)
• SRN is “disqualified” from federal, state, and local funding because we do not utilize MAT
• SRN is wholly dependent upon private funding to maintain operating funds and for expanding capacity

Hearing from HFM alumna Tracey S.
“If I could have had my children in an environment where I was able to become a mom again but also connected to a sober community of women, it could have
been easier for us to reintegrate healthily.”
“I really needed the structure and the opportunity to bond with women. I learned how to be a friend and a mom and a productive member of society. The foundation of having relationships with women saved my life.”
