Description

Miracles Club is a Black, peer-led recovery center committed to providing safe spaces for marginalized, historically oppressed racial and ethnic groups. They serve all individuals looking to find freedom and/or reduce harm from alcohol and drug abuse. Their mission is to maintain a recovery-focused environment where all people feel safe to heal. They provide Certified Recovery Mentors.

Miracles Club provides stabilization houses for women, men, and LGBTQ individuals. Each of the houses has 9-10 residents. Entrance to one of the houses requires that an individual has been clean and sober for two weeks or longer and has a desire to remain clean. Residents can live rent-free in these transitional homes for six months to a year while working on their substance abuse or mental health issues. They do not have staff in the house other than house managers who receive a $350/month stipend for conducting UAs and making sure clients adhere to their 10:00 p.m. curfew. While living in these transition homes, participants are expected to meet with their mentors and attend out-patient drug and alcohol or mental health services. Mentors assist participants in becoming self-sufficient. They help participants sign up for SNAP benefits, teach them to ride TriMet, help them locate furniture, assist them in filling out FASA, get ID, or sign up for health care. Everyone qualifies for a peer mentor.

On the upper floors of the Miracles Club are apartments which are rented to people in recovery. Residents can take part in the recovery support classes held in the conference room below. In the basement, they have new clothing that is given out to residents when they enter the program.

The Miracles Club has three vehicles which are used for out-reach activities. They provide participants with new backpacks containing Narcan, clean needles, snacks,

hand sanitizer, socks, sweatpants, and hoodies. They use incentive cards worth from $25-$500 for participants to use for gas or food.

The Miracles Transition House is located in the Alberta Arts district. This nine-bed recovery home is designed to support African American men engaged in addiction treatment services. Residents also receive peer support services while living there.

Miracles Central Apartments is a brand new, affordable apartment community located in NE Portland. In partnership with Central City Concern , they provide an alcohol and drug free living environment for individuals in recovery with at least ninety (90) days of sobriety. Studio, one, and two bedroom floor plans are available to households making up to 30, 50 and 60 percent of the area’s Median Family Income (MFI)
