Father Joe’s Changing Shelter Into Sober Living and Detox

VIDEO – GREAT IDEA! –

June 13, 2024 – “There was meth, there was heroin, there was crack and now there’s fentanyl,” said Wisecarver.

He  says everyday he watches the need for help grow for people struggling with substance use. With God’s help, we’re gonna get it done,” said Deacon Jim Vargas, the President and CEO of Father Joe’s Villages. Vargas says the organization is planning to change this East Village building from a homeless shelter to a detox and sober living facility.

The new facility will have 45 beds for detoxing and a whole floor for sober living.

“So those who will be in those beds, they’ll be recovering, but also they’ll have access to our employment center,” said Vargas.

The transition will mean Father Joe’s is moving away from city funding and will use private donors partially because of the new sober living requirements.

The entire project will cost $1.5 million.

The PMC will begin denying new clients starting July 1.
