SPOTLIGHT ON COMMUNITY OUTREACH PARTNERS

(Honesty, Open-Mindedness, Willingness) Center provides a safe and structured living environment for individuals recovering from addiction while they gain the skills they need to live independently and successfully. Since opening in 1992, The H.O.W. Center has housed and provided services for over 4000 men. The H.O.W. Center provides room and board, three meals a day, telephone, laundry facilities (both necessary for employment), workout room, education center and more. The residents are required to work a twelve step program, perform chores, and abide by rules. The H.O.W. Center’s supportive environment helps each resident to strive to be the best they can as sober men.
