At First Step House, impact is measured in two ways: the numbers we can count, and the transformations we witness every day.
Both tell the same story — Recovery is Possible, and Stability is Within Reach.
I had lost everything and everyone. All that changed when the day I made it to First Step House. I have never been as happy or had as much hope for the future as I do now.
I just got a big promotion, I’m able to start saving money so that I can focus on, you know, getting all the things that I want or need as opposed to being helpless and running around the streets. So, I’m very hopeful!
Generosity fuels everything we do. Each gift helps us provide treatment, housing, and the wraparound care that make lasting change possible. And the ripple effect is clear: fewer emergency room visits, fewer jail stays, fewer preventable deaths — and a healthier community for everyone.
Improvement and transparency are First Step House core values. We track progress using both internal data and independent evaluations. By sharing our results openly with funders, partners, and the public, we earn your trust.
Every treatment bed is a chance to begin again. Your support helps
people rebuild their health, their families, and their futures.
