At Streets Alive Mission, success is measured in different ways. We see successes every day! Our client’s successes may not lead to a ‘normal’ life by society’s standards, but they are successes nonetheless.

Breaking an addiction requires more than just sheer will power, and we will be there all along the way with love, grace, support, and hope.

Some level of education, a fixed address, and government-issued identification are required to access programs. Many of our clients don’t have these.
