safe...sober...home

We're please to announce that we just opened more than 30 new beds of transitional housing for homeless drug addicts and alcoholics.

Our friends at McKinley, Inc. offered us the opportunity to expand our successful Chapin Street Project in a recently rehabbed building in their new property Aspen Chase. In addition, the Washtenaw Community Health Organization has agreed to provide support for the project.

Shortly after we learned about this exciting opportunity, we got a call from St. Genevieve Parish in Livonia asking if we could make use furniture and household items from their recently closed convent.

We've spent last week furnishing the apartments, moved our house managers in over the weekend, and moved in our first resident in today.

Thanks to our friends at McKinley, the WCHO and St. Genevieve for helping to provide a safe and sober home for the men and women of the Chapin Street Project.
