The Prospering Homes mission is to offer homeless people, veterans in need, and people with addiction, social, or criminal concerns as a result of a drug abuse problem a safe, clean, productive, and sober living environment. Prospering Homes develops and offers training programs and environments to help these people leave the cycle of dependency and transition from "welfare to work." All of Prospering Homes' innovative business endeavors and programs ultimately aim to help people break addiction andbecome productive, self-sufficient members of society, prevent recidivism, and assist them in becoming such upon their re-entry into the community.

Each Prospering Homes Facility is a "self-sustaining entity". Each facility has a management
structure and schedules that are in place in order to maintain the safest, cleanest, healthiest,
and overall most enjoyable and educational facilities. General rules and regulations will be
discussed with you upon admission to one of the Prospering Homes facilities. This structure
allows an individual suffering from addiction a sober, structured way of living that they can
maintain as their recovery and personal growth continues when they are ready to leave the
facility.
Each house member is required to attend AA,
DUI Evaluation, or 12 Step meetings
outside the house. This
benefits the new comer
and allows them to get
acquainted with the
area as well as find
meetings of interest.

they are on track.
Residents are required to sign out when they leave the facility with name, and time they leave, as well as sign back in when they return to the facility. This allows the house managers to monitor
meetings, work habits and in general keep track of each members whereabouts.
