Light of Life Rescue Mission
About Light of Life Rescue Mission
Light of Life Rescue Mission was a Christ centered addiction recovery and homelessness services provider in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The organization offered a full array care, from street outreach and emergency shelter to long term recovery housing, aftercare and alumni support for men, women and children.
Graduates would often describe finding structure and sobriety, renewed faith and supportive community that helped them rebuild their lives one day at a time.
What recovery programs were offered?
Men could enter the Life Recovery Program, a Mental Health Program or the High Commitment Shelter transitional living program.
Programs included counseling and on campus classes, chapel services and 12 step meetings, case management and life skills training.
Women and children could access Sister’s House, Scattered Sites Housing and a Women & Children Partial program.
Who could get help here?
The Mission served men, women and children affected by homelessness, substance use and mental health challenges, trauma and poverty.
Men entering long term programs must have completed detox as the Mission was a non medical recovery residence rather than a detox provider.
Women’s long term housing required participants to be at least 18 with 90 days of sobriety.
Where was it located?
Long term recovery programs were held at Ridge Recovery Place at 665 Ridge Avenue in Pittsburgh while emergency shelter and outreach were based nearby on Voeghtly Street.
Subsidized scattered site housing for mothers and children was available throughout Allegheny County.
