Breakthrough Believers Supportive Housing Program - Grand Rapids, MI

Description: The BBRHC supportive housing program was founded by Mrs. Pam Duvall-Bateman, sponsored by Breakthrough Believers Recovery and Healing Center, 501c3 non profit organization to offer licensed social service program assistance for women with special needs, homeless and have underlying issues of mental and substance abuse disorders. We provide services to roommate/tenants using case-management model. BBRHC supportive housing will provide a independent living atmosphere with on site case management services, in that residents will be required to take an active role in the structured curriculum, daily chores, social activities, spiritual guidance and follow house rules that is a guide for daily living to meet the unmet needs of its residence.

BBRHC supportive housing will house women residents only, as well as a resident manager with the assistance of volunteer staff. Residents may have their own room or share rooms, and share facilities such as laundry, bathroom, kitchen and common living areas. Our goal is to address the real problem, only by addressing the underlying issues will we be able to place them back into society as productive individuals.

MISSION STATEMENT:
