A SIMPLE APPROACH
At the heart of our mission is a laser-focused approach to addressing the urgent needs of local women grappling with substance-use disorder. Join us in our commitment to make a difference, one step at a time.
LASER-FOCUSED ON OUR PROJECT PLAN
FIND THE RIGHT PROVIDER
We partner with Dove Recovery House because they have an excellent record of success, serve women with low/no income, and fill a gap in intensity of care locally by providing Level IV services.
REMOVE START UP BARRIERS
We will provide a turnkey property for Dove to lease and provide start-up funds for the first four months of operation while they obtain NARR certification.
BE A GOOD PARTNER
We will be a fair landlord for this facility. We will advocate for Dove locally. Dove will prioritize Bartholomew County residents and hold slots for local court ordered women who need care.
