Support Is Within Reach



By Zoe Moore | January 16th, 2026

Homelessness and addiction often occur together, creating a difficult cycle that many people simply cannot break on their own. The constant stress, fear, and instability that come with life on the streets can lead individuals to rely on drugs or alcohol as a way to cope. At the same time, addiction itself can be a major factor in someone losing their housing, impacting jobs, relationships, finances, and overall stability. Without support, many feel lost, not knowing where to turn, while others feel they lack the resources, guidance, or encouragement to begin the process. But here at People's City Mission support is within reach.

This month, we are expanding our recovery services to include a brand-new Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This professionally led program will take place right here on our campus, making it easier than ever for guests to receive structured support. The IOP will offer group therapy, individualized treatment plans, relapse-prevention strategies, and ongoing accountability. This new partnership allows us to offer another vital service to the men and women we serve, helping them move toward lasting recovery and renewed hope.

"I’m thrilled to bring this new Intensive Outpatient Program to our guests and to the city of Lincoln. It gives us the opportunity to support our guests in deeper, more effective ways and strengthen their journey toward healing." 

- Earl Richardson, Curtis Center Director

Today, your support helps people battling addiction and strengthens our programs that bring hope.
