This long-term residential program is tailored for Latino men recovering from substance use disorder who have also experienced displacement or trauma from the Eaton Fire. The program provides a culturally responsive, structured living environment with wraparound support for 6 to 12 months.
This transitional program is for sober residents who have completed initial recovery and need long-term assistance reentering the workforce, reestablishing housing, and rebuilding their lives after fire displacement.
This extended family-centered program helps rebuild trust, connection, and emotional stability within families impacted by substance abuse and the loss caused by the Eaton Fire.
