The best kept secret in Pinellas County

Generally, 'the best kept secret' is a title reserved for a restaurant that has been discovered by one who enjoys eating out.

However, we often hear Faith House Florida mentioned as a secret within Pinellas County. With our enlarged website, blog and more frequent open houses, we are working to remove that title.

Our resident aides recently completed a study for our board to see what were the options for someone who was looking for transitional housing. The study showed there were a number of options for that individual to choose from.

The board then decided to raise the bar for Faith House Florida. Our residents are now required to attend more substance abuse meetings each week; more than any other facility.

The doctor who advises the board has also suggested we implement a program of 'therapy work' for each resident which will help them in gaining social skills as well as improving their work ethic before they leave Faith House Florida. This suggestion is also being implemented.

We have added several new advisers and members to our board. These individuals bring specific skills that are necessary for Faith House Florida to provide the best option for an individual who truly wants to gain sobriety and rejoin society as a productive individual.

Faith House Florida; a secret no more.
