Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
RLM operated an addiction recovery residence program in Anaheim, CA, which closed on 10/1/2023 because of additional requirements from city government which were not attainable. This house has been in continuous use since August 2011. All men in the home attend Knott Avenue Christian Church or another evangelical church three times a week. Tuesday night Mens Bible Study, Friday night Recovery, and Sunday morning worship service. Several serve in volunteer capacities at these weekly meetings. In 2021, the house was at capacity with eight (8) men participating in the residence program. All men were employed and were able to pay the nominal rent required to stay in the home. The House Manager, resided at the house, held the men accountable and periodically administered random drug tests. The residents also actively monitored each other and provided support. The RLM mission was to help men move from Crisis to Christ. Emphasis was on continued healthy recovery and spiritual growth. All men continued to work on life-long sobriety in conjunction with their spiritual journeys.-$39,113
