Officials at David’s Courage are looking forward to the opening of second phase housing in Plymouth.
David’s Courage is a non-profit Christ-centered residential recovery program and transitional residency facility for men, and in the future for women, recovering from drug and alcohol addiction in Plymouth.
The current facility houses an average of 20 men for a recovery program typically lasting nine to 12 months. Once a resident completes the recovery program and is ready to move out, they are faced with a housing shortage available to them. David’s Courage is taking steps to fill that gap with second phase housing.
Board President and Manager of David’s Courage Gregg Erickson stated that this will give those qualified a less structured environment with more independence. The second phase housing will have a house manager and the residents will still be expected to continue to attend aspects of the recovery program.
The second phase housing is an existing apartment complex at the corner of Lincolnway East and Pennsylvania Avenue. Significant construction needs to take place to get it up to code and livable. It will eventually hold four one-bedroom apartments.
David’s Courage has applied for a grant from the Division of Mental Health and Addictions that could potentially cover a significant portion of the housing renovations. David’s Courage is also in the middle of a Restore the Roof campaign to cover the cost of a new roof needed for their existing home.
