Help Hope Become Home

In Development

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.

Our Mission

A community where recovery is possible — one home at a time.

Restoring Hope Community Homes is a proposed faith-based recovery housing ministry where women can find stability, belonging, excellent support, and room to build a hopeful life. The first home is being designed for a small number of women in the Green Bay area, with peer leadership, professional oversight, and a community that walks alongside residents — not for a season, but for the long haul.

Recovery is about more than avoiding substances. It is rebuilding safety, health, relationships, purpose, work, community, and hope. A home like this takes a community to build — and a community to sustain. Your financial contribution helps make it possible.

Why Your Gift Matters

Where Your Gift Goes

Donations support more than rooms — they protect resident dignity, qualified staffing, peer careers, training, physical health, community participation, and long-term sustainability.

A dignified home

Safe, calm bedrooms, a community table, quiet spaces, a garden, and the physical environment recovery requires.

Resident safety & dignity

Secure entry, trained oversight, clear protocols, and boundaries that protect every resident — always.

Qualified staff & peer leaders

Recovery-housing, clinical, pastoral, and peer professionals compensated fairly for their work — not volunteers filling paid roles.

Training & formation

Staff scholarships, peer certification, continuing education, and the ongoing learning a high-care home requires.

Body, health & wellness

YMCA memberships, movement, nutrition, cooking education, sleep-supportive practices, and appropriate medical referrals.

Meaningful careers

Fair-chance employment pathways, apprenticeships, and recovery-supportive workplaces for residents and alumni.

Help Hope Become Home

Restoring Hope Community Homes will require a community of people willing to serve responsibly, give sustainably, share expertise, and protect the dignity of residents.

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.
