Mission
To create a community that equips Louisvilles families in recovery with children under five to choose well for their futures.
Program accomplishments
- ChooseWell assisted 37 families in recovery to access supported, safe, & affordable housing, community resources for vocational and education achievement, and physical and behavioral health care. Thirty-seven families led by parents in early addiction recovery were anchored in safe, permanent housing. These families were embraced by a growing compassionate community of support as they navigate reunification with children lost during their active addiction, a return to school and/or the workforce; physical, emotional and spiritual healing; and reconstruction of social connections which further sustain the rebuilding of their lives and the lives of their families.Expenses $436,740
