In development: Restoring Hope Community Homes is currently in the planning, partnership, fundraising, property-evaluation, and leadership-development stage. The first home is not yet open and is not currently accepting resident applications.
This notice will remain visible until the board formally approves opening and admissions.
Restoring Hope Community Homes will require more than a building. It will require a community of people willing to serve responsibly, give sustainably, share expertise, and protect the dignity of residents.
Lived experience is valuable, but no one will be expected to disclose personal recovery details publicly or share a story for fundraising.
You are not required to disclose your personal recovery story. Please do not submit confidential medical, treatment, legal, or resident information through this form.

Care That Is Measured — Because People Are What Matter
Restoring Hope Ministries tracks the well-being of every participant in our clinical and faith-based services using empirically validated screeners, clinical interviews, behavioral analysis, and self-report — so we can honestly see whether the people we serve are getting better.
This rigor reflects the training of our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Gross, who earned an M.S. in Clinical Psychology from the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology and is continuing his Psy.D. studies in Clinical Psychology, with completion anticipated in 2028. His Th.D. in Theology and Ph.D. in Christian Counseling complement that clinical education with theological preparation for Christ-centered soul care.
At Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin, he served as a Student Psychologist and later Chief Student Psychologist, supporting veterans and first responders with traumatic brain injuries through the BRAVE program. His work included assessment, individualized treatment planning, multidisciplinary rehabilitation, psychoeducational and process-oriented groups, and peer supervision. His experience also includes supervised psychological testing of clergy at Milwaukee Psychotherapy Collaborative, recovery-focused group development at The Manor by Windrose, and case management and peer-support supervision at Biehl Bridges to Recovery.
Continuing education in assessment, trauma, neurobehavioral conditions, supervision, ethics, and risk management further informs this approach. Together, these experiences help shape RHM’s commitment to careful assessment, responsible documentation, collaborative care, and attention to each person’s spiritual, relational, emotional, and practical needs. His clinical psychology doctorate remains in progress; this background does not replace the qualifications or licensure required for regulated clinical services.
