Cornerstone Community
Where Community is the Heart of
Recovery
Cornerstone Community means I have a home to return to after an AA meeting. I no longer have to hang out in the park or in the evening, stand in line waiting to get into a shelter. I have a key to unlock my door on a rainy day. Day-by-day I am rebuilding my life. When it seems like a huge burden to bear, I know there is a place that will lift me up--my home.
We are called to be a community of caring where formerly homeless men who are regaining their physical and mental health and who want to live drug and alcohol free can rest, heal and grow towards a positive future in the loving, accepting, patient environment of home.
Overcoming substance abuse without a strong support network of family, friends, and peers is daunting and difficult. Remaining sober with little or no support in an unstable living situation is literally a life and death struggle.
The vision of the Cornerstone Community is to be a family for homeless men who want to live a substance-free life. We are the ones who will love them, hope with them, and struggle with them until they are able to create a drug free and healthy future for themselves.
