“Our goal is to provide a foundation for you to stand on that is a safe and secure space”
Edrica’s House of Hope is 501(c) (3) is a sober living and transitional living facility whose mission is helping individuals who are in recovery and transitioning back into society. These individuals are homeless and require housing support, safety and accountability prior to living on their own. We are an 18-bed facility for men 18 yrs. old and above located in Los Angeles California.
Many individuals who are starting over and in recovery need a place that is safe where they can find the encouragement and love to help them navigate their way to living a life drug free. The need for Sober Living facilities are great in Los Angeles County with many individuals homeless after coming out of prison and treatment facilities with nowhere to go. Returning to old familiar places puts them at risk and many times individuals find they cannot go back to their neighborhood and families.
The truth is countless individuals end up back on the streets where the probability of relapse and/or re-offending is greater. Susceptible to hard times, many of these individuals are disabled, elderly, veterans, and young adults who are at the most risk, and who make up many clients we serve. We are able to help many of these individuals not only to meet essential daily needs, but to work toward a brighter future with an engaging sober living structure, assistance in finding in job training, education, elderly assistance, VA assistance and stable housing until they are strong enough to transition back into society and to live life on life’s terms on their own or work towards reunification with family and loved ones.
