What it reported doing in 2024

During 2023 we reopened the resale store "miracles happen resale store boutique rehab" with new branding and a fresh new look. We finished the upstairs build out and moved into our administrative offices. We opened our event center "connection room and we were able to get contracted with different insurance providers. Which allowed us to be reimbursed for the client services we provided at our outpatient treatment center "konnect wellness center". We revamped our job development and started using emotional intelligence curriculums to help our clients. We opened our therapy and programs up to community clients that were not living in our homes. We secured some grants and obtained our new transit bus from an adot grant. We started settling in with our new programs and working on filling holes in hopes of streamlining our services.
