Recovery outreach/assistance: providing assistance and utilizing peer dynamic organically present in our volunteer base to model the recovery life to those who may be considering leaving the street life behind. We work every day to build relationships, bridge the gaps and provide assistance to our volunteers and others who have decided to live a life of recovery. In 2022, a total of 267,810 was spent on recovery outreach/assistance. The majority of this amount was spent on supporting individuals during and after inpatient drug/alcohol treatment: -transportation to inpatient drug/alcohol addiction treatment center (primarily outside of rockford) -basic needs for the duration of the treatment (28+ days); -upon graduation from treatment, transportation to a group sober living house, payment of rent, groceries, household supplies, bedding, and other necessities required in order to live in a supportive living environment; and -counseling services and other services as needed while in supportive living. Additionally, monies were spent building relationships with our volunteers and other vulnerable individuals in the community (i.e. Trafficked women). This amount also included providing meals and transportation costs for our volunteers (100+ during the year).

Emergency assistance/housing: emergency services are provided to individuals in crisis. These services are often provided outside of normal business hours. Often people are brought to us by other agencies and first responders who are not equipped to provide real-time funding for emergency housing, emergency travel and other basic needs. In 2022, a total of 89,496 was spent on emergency assistance/housing needs and primarily consisted of hotel costs, transportation to the hotel, gift cards for food and other basics needed in a crisis situation.
