Description
For 25 years, Steps House has been affectionately referred to as The Home of Unconditional Love.
With its founding principles of integrity, love, compassion, and a deep desire to help others, Steps House has opened its doors to thousands of men and women who sought refuge from the devastation caused by the disease of addiction and the ravages of homelessness.
Their 38 home sites and 140 beds provide shelter to those in East Tennessee while they find their way back to productive lives.
People they serve:
- They serve people fighting addiction or homelessness.
- They serve veterans.
- They serve pregnant women who are dealing with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) or who have children under two years of age and need a safe place to live.
Residents have to remain sober and as they recover, they become employed.
Some stay long term, and when they do, they give back by helping others in the program.
They insist upon responsibility, but they reward it with respect, independence, and opportunity.
