Better Community Development, Inc.
Description
Better Community Development has served disadvantaged individuals in the 12th Street Corridor of Little Rock for the past fifty years. Their mission is to improve life for vulnerable populations, including low-income families, underrepresented and underserved individuals, at-risk populations and disadvantaged young people. They offer a number of programs designed to meet the unique needs of various populations. The Hoover Treatment Center provides faith-based recovery services for chemical dependence, including 24/7 support during the recovery process. Housing programs support the unhoused, formerly incarcerated individuals and those experiencing housing emergencies due to low-income status. Individuals may be eligible for permanent housing options in safe, stable communities. The Youth Initiative Program serves young people ages 12-18 who are at-risk for entering the criminal justice system, and for those who may experience unsafe living situations. Staff are on-call 24 hours a day for emergency needs. Individuals can contact the program directly for more information or to discuss available services.
