MercyMe Sober Living recovery houses have been awarded a $50,000 grant over two years to build additional sober living houses. This grant is part of the Beaufort County Opioid Abatement Program with funds made available from the 2022 National Opioids Settlement. Mercy-Me will receive $25,000 of the funding this year and plans to open a men’s recovery house as soon as a suitable location is found and furnished. Next year, another recovery house will be opened for either men or women, depending on the most pressing need, using an additional $25,000 from the grant.
MercyMe Sober Living is thrilled to receive this funding, which will help realize the long-time dream of our founder, with support from their spouse. We extend our gratitude to the National Opioids Settlement, the City of Beaufort, and the Beaufort County Opioid Abatement Program. Special thanks go to Tidal Creek Fellowship, the Mercy-Me Board of Directors, and all our volunteers, partners, and generous contributors. We also want to acknowledge our grant writer for their dedication and effort in securing this grant.
All MercyMe Sober Living recovery houses will implement a MAT (Medical Assisted Treatment) program to save the lives of addicts and help them reclaim purposeful and fulfilling lives.
