A COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE RECOVERY OF FLINT In a city that helped build America, hope is often in short supply. Jobs are scarce—violence, illiteracy and crime are on the rise. Young people are being raised in an environment of poverty and despair. Foreclosures and anxiety, joblessness and poverty—all contributors to depression and domestic violence—are destroying families. Funding has diminished for medical care and housing assistance to aid aging veterans and individuals on fixed incomes who have expensive prescriptions and growing medical bills. Clearly, help is needed. The CENTER FOR HOPE is the beginning of a new path for recovery, offering case management and access to counseling and mental health services; substance use disorder treatment and recovery services; housing assistance and referrals for food and furniture; and a place to sit and play cards after a shower and a hot meal. The CENTER FOR HOPE offers just that—hope for each new day that comes, for a City that won’t give up and the individuals and families who live here.
