Our Mission
To help alcoholics and addicts take their “First Step” toward sober and productive lives, the First Step Foundation provides financial assistance for sober housing as they leave treatment and start the road to recovery.
Our Story
Almost 24 million Americans are addicted to alcohol and drugs. The effect addiction has on families and loved ones multiplies the problem exponentially. The First Step Foundation, Inc. was formed in 2017 as a Florida not-for-profit and 501 c3 Federally tax-exempt corporation to help newly recovering alcoholics and addicts to move into Sober Living after treatment by paying for rent, security deposits and administrative fees. We require the client have a job and we cover the basic costs of shelter until they receive their first paycheck as they take the “First Step” back to a productive and sober life. Through your generous support we can help provide much needed financial help that can mean the difference between success and further heartbreak in the lives of those affected by alcoholism and addiction, as well as in the lives of their families and loved ones.
