We have serious challenges across the United States with homelessness, substance dependence, and mental health. The City Refuge Organization continues to create opportunities by providing safe affordable sober living homes to help in their transition to independence.

THE CITY REFUGE ORGANIZATION is a transitional housing program for ex-offenders, those in recovery from addiction, homeless,

and open to anyone in need of shelter. Our purpose is to assist individuals in the transition of becoming independent by

providing them with resources through our community partners. Our residents will receive the tools necessary to overcome

and have a better quality of life. We help one person change at a time.
