This facility, spearheaded by Claudia and TK Hamilton, aims to support men recovering from addiction or incarceration. Located on Maple Ave., Brother’s Place will bridge the gap between crisis shelters and comprehensive rehabilitation, focusing on empowerment and reintegration into society. The project addresses critical needs like housing, employment, and trauma recovery, crucial for men rebuilding their lives. Supported by community partnerships, including unexpected collaborations with Floyd County Prison, the initiative seeks to provide a supportive environment where men can heal and regain stability over a 12 to 15-month program.
