For over 50 years, Alpha Home (www.alphahome.org) has helped women recover from drug and alcohol addiction. With a commitment to treating the whole person, Alpha Home's work brings people out of crisis, while supporting mental health wellness, reuninting families, and putting their clients on career and education paths. It costs Alpha Home approximately $10,500 to deliver these critical services to the women they serve each year. In comparison, women who are hospitalized, imprisoned, separated from their children and family, and navigating the court system due to their addiction, cost the health and justice system upwards of $250,000.

The Story Goes | Dawn Dixon | Connect + Ability Mar 10, 2019

Show notes

Episode 101
San Antonians envisioned a transportation system recognized as a model of efficiency and environmental sustainability where everyone is able to walk, ride, drive, or wheel in a safe, convenient, and affordable manner to their desired destinations (report.sa2020.org/transportation/ ). Our population is growing: 66 people are born or move to our city every day, and we are estimated to double in the next twenty years. Our streets and sidewalks are lifelines to the places we need to go: work, school, healthcare providers. Connect+Ability at Warm Springs (warmspringsconnectability.org ) supports people with life-altering injuries and their families and caregivers. This means expanding services and support to include areas where people with life-altering injuries need accessibility. In Podcast #2, Dawn Dixon, Executive Director, explains how their work, which helps meet the needs of people with disabilities, will ultimately better serve the San Antonio community-at-large. You can also read more about their work in the latest SA2020 Impact Report (www.sa2020.org/blog/transportati…m-that-works-all/).
