820 River Street Inc - Alcoholism Supportive Living Facility Facility
Father Young created the Peter G Young Foundation to help the homeless. Often a person, for various reasons, is ineligible to receive medicaid or other public funding, and must fend for themselves.
That's where his foundation can help. Using 100% private donations, Father Young is able to feed and shelter the homeless for whom there is no other help available. Thousands of people have been helped through the years in getting their lives back on track and back into society, becoming law-abiding, productive citizens once more.
A New Beginning
We've all made mistakes. Been down on our luck. Suffered great loss. Life can be tough, even cruel. And a lone turn in the road can change things forever.
Life's trials aren't doled out in equal portions among a population. Rather, these challenges travel on chance winds and land in unlikely places. They tax the strong, but often overwhelm the less fortunate.
For more than four decades, the Peter G Young Foundation has worked effectively to help decent people who have - for one sad reason or another - succumbed to life's pressures. They end up poor, homeless, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or even in prison. But the Foundation's time-tested recovery paradigm has produced amazing results, helping to return more than nine out of ten recipients to honest, productive lives.
Father Peter Young recognized long ago that recovery from addiction or other devastating conditions often requires a three-pronged approach to support: Treatment, Housing, and Employment. Thus, "T.H.E. Program" was born, described by Father Young as a three-legged stool requiring all three support components in order to stand.
