A PLACE TO CALL HOME
The mission of the Curtis Center is to give participants time, education, a sense of community, and the tools to change their lives in positive ways.
The Curtis Center offers supportive, transitional housing for 60 men who need help getting back on their feet and are looking to improve their lives.
The Curtis Center is a secure building with private, comfortable sleeping rooms. Each room has a refrigerator, a microwave and a sink and is wired for basic cable TV services. Other amenities include laundry facilities, three congregate meals, a community lounge, a library for reading or studying, two outdoor courtyards, and 24-hour staff. Reduced-rate memberships are available to a local recreational facility.
The Program
The Curtis Center is a structured program that focuses on four areas; each area includes classes, counseling, and services designed to promote emotional health and economic self-sufficiency. Our desire is to develop a mutually trusting relationship to help residents identify and achieve program goals.
Weekly casework and quarterly progress reviews are evaluated based on these four areas:

Recovery from Substance Abuse or Dependence

Vocations/Education

Personal Growth and Development

Permanent Housing
