— Faith-Based Recovery Network —

Restoring lives.Rebuilding communities.Raising leaders.

Hope. Healing. Transformation.

For every person we restore, we raise a leader to restore others. A growing network of more than four hundred recovery homes, where the door is always open, and the cost is always nothing.

We serve nearly seven thousand men and women each year overcoming addiction, homelessness, and reentry from incarceration through faith, structure, and proven leadership. The Director's Training Center is how that work multiplies.

years serving communities and restoring lives

Inner-City Recovery Homes International is committed to restoring lives and rebuilding communities. For over fifty years, we have helped individuals break free from addiction, homelessness, and life-controlling challenges. Today, our work reaches across more than 190 U.S. cities and over 40 countries around the world.

At any given time, we are housing and restoring more than seven thousand individuals, providing a safe place and a real opportunity for lasting change. The doors are always open. The stay is always free.

We believe every life has purpose. No matter the past, transformation is possible.

Our model is grounded in a single belief: recovery is not a destination. It is the beginning of a calling. Through our programs, individuals are not only restored, but empowered to help others find the same freedom. What starts with one life creates a ripple effect that impacts families, communities, and future generations. Because when a life is restored, it multiplies.

The Director's Training Center is the engine of that growth. It is a structured, three-month leadership program that equips graduates of recovery to become facilitators of recovery sent into the cities that need them most. Today, the program trains roughly forty leaders a year. With this grant, we will expand to sixty.

— The Three-Month Path —

From graduate of recovery to facilitator of recovery.

Each cohort moves through three months of structured formation biblical, practical, and pastoral, before being deployed.

Month One

Foundations

Biblical formation, recovery methodology, and the personal disciplines that ground long-term leadership.

Month Two

Practice

Conflict resolution, pastoral care, program management, and the skills required to lead a recovery home day-to-day.

Month Three

Deployment

Community engagement, partnership building, and placement into a recovery home in a major metropolitan area.

Recovery is not a destination, it is the beginning of a calling. The DTC takes that calling and gives it shape, structure, and a city to serve.
