Providing Housing Since 2019
We use the Whole Person recovery approach:
BCS has a heart for ensuring the success of individuals with disabilities, those in recovery, and veterans. One of our programs has flourished into an opportunity to help all three of these populations. Freedom House is an extension of BCS that offers housing, rehabilitation, and focused redirection for individuals who struggle with recovery and/or are coming from the judicial system. Many of our participants are veterans and may identify with various types of disabilities.
Our team assists men, women, and veterans in identifying personal goals relating to education, employment, health, entitled benefits, spirituality, relationships, and community participation. At Freedom House, they learn the skills to find freedom in their recovery struggles, how to get and keep a job, and how to live and do life in a community. We are so excited to currently offer this service in Bradenton, Florida. Program fees are based on income.
