Straight Street is raising $10,000 to open the first structured sober living house in Chambers County. One home. Real accountability. A community that holds people up when they're trying to stand.
Opioid overdose deaths in Alabama run 31% above the national average. Chambers County and the surrounding communities are chronically underserved for quality, structured recovery housing.
Most people leaving treatment have nowhere structured to go. No accountability. No community. No bridge to a real life. That gap is where relapse happens.
Straight Street exists to close it.
Most recovery housing fails because it's just housing. Straight Street is built around the things that actually keep people sober.
Clear house rules, daily routines, and peer accountability. Not to control residents — to give them the foundation recovery actually requires.
Residents live alongside others walking the same road. Shared meals, peer support, and bonds that last long after the program ends.
Job training, life skills, and local resource connections. The goal is to prepare residents to thrive outside of a program, not to keep them in one.
Connected to local churches, courts, and treatment centers. Straight Street is embedded in the community it serves — not dropped in from the outside.
Pursuing NARR certification and full compliance with state licensing requirements. Professional-grade housing, not just a room to rent.
Rooted in the belief that every person can recover. Faith is part of our DNA, but recovery here is open to everyone willing to do the work.
No vague promises. Every dollar raised goes directly to getting the first house open and operational.
No donation is too small. $25 from 400 people gets us there. Choose an amount that feels right — or name your own.
Have a specific number in mind? Name it. Every dollar is meaningful.
Whether it's $25 or $1,000 — your gift is not a transaction. It's a vote for what east Alabama can be. Recovery is possible here. Help us prove it.
