Texas program credited with helping homeless men recover from alcoholism
Project Recovery, a voluntary six-month program for alcohol-dependent men, is helping homeless men in the Austin area sober up, find housing, and be more productive. The $650,000-a-year program is funded by the City of Austin and Travis County and since 2006 has helped 92 men, some of them with mental or physical disabilities. The program is focused on males because the facility is not large enough to house both men and women, and because more men are arrested for public intoxication.
