Program accomplishments
- Success milestones for 2025 include the following: * House and support 27 residents, of up to 15 max at a time. In 2025, JLR housed 27 unique individual residents and reached nearly 100 additional people in recovery through referrals. JLR had a waiting list of 12 people at the end of the year. * The JLR residence has been full more consistently for the first time, due to the completion of almost all building renovations as well as the more efficient and effective process for filling sleeping rooms when they are vacated.* 100% of housed residents had a recovery plan with individualized success metrics in abstinence, financial stability, and active participation in the life of the community. All residents at JLR in 2025 (including current residents and those who exited during the year) have an individualized recovery plan addressing their specific recovery pathway.* 60% of residents will stay for at least 90 days, the recommended minimum stay for positive outcomes for people in recovery. In 2025, the average length of stay for residents was 354 days, with the median number of days at 140. Both metrics well are above the recommended minimum of 90 days.* 80% of former JLR residents who responded to a follow-up survey in 2025 were employed either full or part-time and were in a stable living situation.* 80% of the former JLR residents who responded to the 2025 follow-up survey were sober, with 70% sober for more than one year.Expenses $203,179
