Recovery-Focused Living At The Epicenter Of A Crisis
Project HOME is on the front lines of one of the most devastating crises in the nation – homelessness.
Today, Project HOME is redoubling its efforts by creating recovery housing coupled with services for people impacted by the opioid epidemic. By creating safe, recovery-oriented housing right in the epicenter of the crisis, Project HOME will empower adults to break the cycle of chronic homelessness while addressing the impact of addiction.
Maguire Residence launched this initiative by refurbishing an entire city block in the heart of Kensington to include 42 apartments and green space.
Maguire Residence focuses on attainment of employment and educational goals while establishing a lifestyle that promotes wellness, recovery, and community. Recovery and support services are offered by Project HOME for individuals with histories of homelessness and mental health or substance-use disorders. The building offers affordable living in a setting that reflects the diverse nature of the community.
