Homes First creates and maintains safe, healthy, and affordable rental homes for those who need them most. Since 1990, we have housed over 5,000 very low income community members in safe and permanent rental housing ensuring that people who need homes the most are not on the street and where they are treated with dignity and respect. We partner with local municipalities, national and local funders, and local banking institutions to buy, rehabilitate, and rent out healthy, safe, and affordable homes.

Better living Fund
Better living is a community program for a sober Living house. Funds will be used to help those who truly need it to obtain the financing to get into a sober living community. Funding will cover their first months rent, help with cost of obtaining a photo ID and credentials for employment. Many people struggle with overcoming addiction, even those who have completed inpatient treatment because coming out of treatment they do not have the support or the finances they need to continue in recovery. Sober living provides a strong stable safe environment and a connection with the sober community. Being in a sober living house plays a crucial role in maintaining their sobriety. While there they will attend meetings, get a sponsor, work the 12 steps, gain employment and build the skills they need to beat addiction and provided them with life time of recovery. It isn't easy to do this alone and to have the resources,support and care from others who are in recovery along with a safe environment free from drugs and alcohol will help those live a better life. Thses funding will be granted to those who qualify, qualifications will be based off income, completed treatment programs, sobriety date and a letter of recommendation from either a treatment center, councilor or doctor and the will to stay sober. A application will be filled out and processed by the program director to determine eligibility. Some small towns such as pratt Ks , Kingman Ks and medicine lodge kansas has no sober living houses. I would like to get funding to bring sober living to those communities. Residence at A Better living sober house all must obtain employment in 2 weeks, pay 140 a week for housing. Attend 2 meetings a week if employed 7 meets a week if not employed. Each resident will have weekly house chores, be subject to random UAs/BAs. Hold a house meeting once a week to insure everyone is following house rules, paying dues , and gainfully looking for employment. We will fallow same rules and regulations as any Oxford House. Let's come together and help cure addiction and give hope to those who want to live a sober life.
