Mariners Inn

The recovery housing program provided a supportive, semi-independent living experience to men who successfully completed the residential treatment program. The men received living space and meals in a recovering community of sober men for a period of usually four months. The program also gave these men the opportunity to work on all aspects of their recovery from substance abuse and homelessness. Each individual worked on his own specific goals (i.e., his particular way of being self-sufficient), established with the assistance of the recovery housing staff.

The extended residency program provided an alcohol-free and drug-free residential environment in which men were offered living space and meals in a recovering community for an initial period of up to two years. The program provided permanent housing for homeless men with disabilities and is based on the principles of the 12-step recovery model for substance abuse.

The vocational training program greatly enhanced employment opportunities for the organization's residents by improving their communication skills, self-esteem, and job knowledge.

The anchor project is a capital campaign launched by the organization to construct a 65,000-square-foot facility to be known as the anchor. The project, once completed, will include 44 fully furnished units for permanent supportive housing, 40 fully furnished recovery housing units, and a variety of additional spaces which will further the organization's mission. Legal fees and feasibility study expenses, among other costs, are recognized in this function.
