Hope120
A Christ-Centered Recovery & Reentry Home Being Developed for Brown County, Wisconsin
Our prayer is to build more than a residence. We are seeking to cultivate a place where persons can encounter structure, mercy, accountability, meaningful work, spiritual formation, and the patient presence of the Body of Christ.
Recovery and reentry are rarely sustained well in isolation. Persons need more than a program, more than a temporary burst of motivation, and more than a place to stay. They need a community that can walk with them as they rediscover meaning, purpose, responsibility, hope, and identity before the Lord.
Recovery Residence
Brown County, WI
Women-First
Proposed first residence
Discipleship-Centered
120-day structured model
Vision Being Developed: Hope120 is not yet open. The conditional Fall 2027–January 2028 planning window depends on documented readiness and board authorization. Programming, capacity, and resident agreements remain subject to review. Hope120 is not a medical detox or clinical treatment facility and does not replace emergency services. If you are in crisis, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.
Updated program direction: Hope120 is the proposed women-first residence within Restoring Hope Community Homes. The September 2026 plan leaves capacity unconfirmed and identifies Fall 2027–January 2028 only as a conditional planning window, subject to property, approvals, staffing, funding, and board authorization.
Hope120 • Proposed resident programming
What could life at Hope120 look like?
Explore the first week, the 120-day journey, a sample day and week, Living Free and REBOOT planning, practical learning, care choices, and support after leaving. Updated from the September 22, 2026 ministry plan.
The proposed resident journey
120 days of structure, with room for your story
The aim is more than a room: dependable people, everyday practice, and a realistic next step. Goals would be set with residents and revisited around days 30, 60, 90, and 120—not measured by attendance alone.
Days 1–30
Build a foundation
Settle into food, sleep, daily routines, and relationships. Create a resident-led plan, identify practical needs such as identification and transportation, and begin planning for your next home.
Days 31–90
Practice in everyday life
Combine work or education with chosen recovery supports, practical skills, and appropriate care. Review what is helping and adapt the schedule for employment, disability, caregiving, or outside treatment.
Days 91–120
Prepare the next chapter
Work toward a realistic housing destination, income and benefits, transportation, medication access, continuing care, trusted contacts, and a written backup plan. Transition preparation begins well before this phase.
Day 120 is a milestone, not an automatic eviction. Individualized continuation and transition are part of the proposed model. Extensions, costs, and occupancy terms must be explained in the final lawful resident agreement; no particular extended stay is guaranteed.
What might my first seven days look like?
A proposed orientation sequence, adapted to your immediate needs and pace. Urgent help would not wait for a particular day.
- Day 1
Welcome and safety
A personal welcome, food, orientation to shared and private spaces, emergency contacts, and time for questions.
- Day 2
Your goals and choices
Choose first-week priorities and discuss internal or outside supports without pressure to disclose your whole story.
- Day 3
Practical stability
Make a manageable list for identification, benefits, transportation, and appointments, with a named helper for each next step.
- Day 4
Household and food skills
Agree on accessible household contributions and try a meal-planning, food-budgeting, or cooking activity.
- Day 5
Work and learning
Explore employment, education, or peer training at your pace; participation does not guarantee a job or course placement.
- Day 6
Connection and recreation
Choose a safe community connection or recreational activity and identify transportation or accessibility barriers.
- Day 7
Review and adjust
Share what feels helpful, raise concerns, and agree on the next week’s priorities and support contacts.
Life in the home
A steady rhythm—not a day filled with requirements
Work, classes, outside appointments, rest, and disability accommodations come first in planning a realistic week. These examples explain the design; they are not a published timetable or evidence of current staffing.
Illustrative planning schedule • All daily times are Central Time.
6:30–9:00 AM
Begin gently
Breakfast, personal routine, work or class departure, and optional quiet reflection.
9:00 AM–Noon
Build your day
Work, education, appointments, individualized life-skills practice, or needed rest.
Noon–2:00 PM
Pause and recharge
Lunch, errands, chosen appointments, or restorative personal time.
2:00–5:00 PM
Learn and practice
Employment preparation, education, garden or creative learning, or individual support.
5:00–7:00 PM
Gather around the table
A shared meal and accessible household contributions; personal disclosure is never required at meals.
7:00–9:00 PM
Choose a connection
A selected group, recreation, safe family or community contact, or personal time.
9:00–11:00 PM
Wind down
A calm environment, optional check-in, and preparation for the next day.
11:00 PM–6:30 AM
Protect sleep
Rest with access to help under the eventual approved overnight staffing and emergency plan.
A weekly resident meeting would offer space to suggest changes, raise concerns, and plan shared responsibilities. Chores would be accessible and distinct from paid work; residents, students, volunteers, or cameras would not replace required trained staff.
Resources during the stay
What support would participants have access to?
Hope120 is being designed to connect a stable home with practical tools, trustworthy relationships, and chosen care. The resources below describe the proposed experience—not a currently available benefits package or a guarantee that every outside service is included.
A stable place to begin
The proposed residence would offer a furnished sleeping space, storage for personal belongings, shared kitchen and living areas, and calm spaces for rest. Final room arrangements, accessibility, capacity, and included supplies depend on the approved property and operating plan.
A personal recovery and transition plan
Residents would help identify their own priorities, practical next steps, and support contacts. Reviews around days 30, 60, 90, and 120 would look at progress, barriers, and what needs to change—not simply attendance or compliance.
Welcome information and clear agreements
Orientation would explain the house routine, emergency procedures, privacy boundaries, participation choices, fees, and how to request accommodations or raise a concern. Final policies would be explained before admission rather than introduced as unexpected conditions.
Food and household-skills practice
The planned shared kitchen and community table would support meal planning, food budgeting, food safety, cooking, and accessible household responsibilities. Meal provision, groceries, and any resident contribution still need to be defined in the final fee and services agreement.
Peer connection and recovery navigation
Trained peers would offer check-ins, encouragement, help identifying community resources, and support following through on practical goals. Peers would work within their assigned role; they would not diagnose, prescribe, provide psychotherapy, or replace required residential staff.
Groups and learning materials
Residents could participate in an individualized selection of available Living Free, REBOOT, recovery-navigation, or practical-skills offerings. Approved readings, worksheets, and practice exercises would support each offering; curriculum access, materials costs, facilitators, and cohort dates must be confirmed.
Help with everyday access barriers
Resource navigation could include identification documents, benefits, housing applications, appointment planning, transit routes, and access to outside providers. Staff or peers could help organize next steps; transportation, benefits approval, and outside-service availability are not guaranteed.
Work, education, and financial tools
Proposed activities include résumé and application practice, interview preparation, budgeting, savings goals, and exploration of education or training. Employer introductions, placements, course admission, scholarships, and employment would require separate decisions and confirmed availability.
Chosen spiritual and professional care
Optional biblical counseling, chaplaincy, prayer, or Scripture engagement would be offered within appropriate consent and supervision. Clinical, medical, and psychiatric care would remain with qualified providers, with separate arrangements and records; housing does not automatically include treatment.
Wellness, recreation, and safe relationships
The design includes sleep education, accessible movement, creative learning, nature activities, and support for healthy boundaries. Family contact would follow resident choice and safety. YMCA access and outside recreation depend on actual eligibility, funding, transportation, and arrangements.
A practical next-home plan
During the stay, residents would work toward a housing destination, income or benefits, transportation, ongoing care, trusted contacts, and a backup plan. Optional alumni follow-up is proposed at 30 and 90 days and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after leaving.

Vision & Inspiration
The Vision
Why Hope120 Exists
Hope120 is being developed as a Christ-centered recovery and reentry home rooted in biblical counseling, discipleship, education, and community partnership. The vision is not merely to establish housing, but to cultivate a structured pathway where persons can rediscover meaning, purpose, responsibility, vocation, hope, and identity before the Lord.
Restoring Hope Ministries does not claim to be the source of transformation. Our prayer is to be a stewarded structure of care, discipleship, counsel, and education that helps people come under the care of Christ within the life of His Body. Only Christ heals. Only Christ restores. Only Christ teaches the heart in its deepest places.
The goal is not for RHM to become the center of care, but to help organize a faithful and accountable pathway through which the Body of Christ and community partners can serve together — resisting siloed work and building something that belongs, in the right sense, to the larger Church (1 Corinthians 3:11; Psalm 127:1).
"Our prayer is that Hope120 becomes more than a residence — a place of ordered mercy, where men and women are not reduced to their past, but are encountered as image bearers whose lives may be re-narrated under the grace and lordship of Christ."
— Dr. Jeffrey W. Gross, Lead Counseling Pastor
Persons Need More Than a Program
Recovery and reentry are weakened when persons are treated as problems to be managed rather than souls to be loved, formed, and walked with.
A stable, structured living environment
A consistent daily rhythm of structure, responsibility, and rest
Biblical counseling, discipleship, and pastoral care
Accountability with grace — not shame or control
Meaningful work and practical pathways toward community
Belonging in the Body of Christ beyond the program
Planning Research
The Recovery Landscape in Brown County
As we plan Hope120, we are studying the recovery housing and treatment options already serving Brown County. The region has significant strengths — faith-based sober living, certified recovery homes, county treatment services, and medication-assisted care — yet few settings combine long-term residence with discipleship-centered biblical counseling and active collaboration with licensed clinical providers. That intersection is the gap Hope120 is being designed to fill.

Structured partnership with licensed clinical providers when medical care is indicated
Education and vocation pathways through RHSBC and community employers
Reintegration into local churches, so residents are received — not sent away
Research snapshot compiled September 2026 for planning purposes. Inclusion here is not an endorsement, and services change — always confirm details directly with each provider. If you are in crisis, call 911 or the Brown County Crisis Center at (920) 436-8888.
The Model
What Hope120 Is
A recovery residence with a structured discipleship framework. Participants will be supported through:
A consistent daily rhythm (structure, responsibilities, growth, rest)
Biblical discipleship and pastoral care
Accountability practices aligned with Christian ethics
Mentorship and community connection
Community partner involvement (churches, employers, supportive services)
Important Scope Note: Hope120 is not a hospital, not a detox facility, and not a substitute for medical or psychiatric care. If clinical treatment is indicated, we will encourage and support connection to appropriate licensed providers.
Who We Serve
Who Hope120 Is Designed For
Adults who desire a structured, faith-based environment and are willing to participate fully in house expectations, recovery disciplines, community integration, and a consistent growth plan.
Individuals rebuilding life after addiction and relapse cycles
Individuals impacted by grief, loss, and trauma
Individuals reintegrating after incarceration
Individuals seeking a faith-based pathway to stable living and community connection
A Women-First Opening
The first residence is proposed for women. Later expansion requires demonstrated first-home stability, a suitable site, separate approvals, and dedicated staffing and funding.
Residency Length — Flexible & Need-Based
The 120-day core supports individualized progress and transition. Day 120 is not an automatic eviction; continuation, fees, and occupancy terms must follow the final resident agreement. No multi-year stay or employment-linked extension is guaranteed.
Seeking Partners
A Vision Built on Community
Restoring Hope Ministries is inviting churches, pastors, employers, donors, educators, counselors, and community partners to help build a care structure that resists siloed work. We believe many churches already carry pieces of this work in their hearts — our desire is to help those pieces become integrated in a way that serves people wisely and sustainably.

Actively Seeking
Property Connections in Brown County
We are prayerfully seeking property connections — housing, land, or real estate that could become home to this vision. If you have knowledge of or access to a suitable space, we want to hear from you.
Facility Vision
The Building We're Prayerfully Planning Toward
Hope120 is envisioned as a purpose-built or thoughtfully renovated multi-story facility in Brown County — designed to serve both men and women in a safe, structured, and dignified environment. Final facility details will be shaped as partnerships and property are secured.
Two or Three Stories
The facility is being planned as a two or three-story structure that provides meaningful separation of wings for men and women, with shared community spaces — dining, worship, and group programming — designed to foster healthy community while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
Separate men's and women's residential floors/wings
Shared dining, common areas, and chapel space
Counseling and discipleship meeting rooms
Staff and volunteer support areas
Outdoor community space for rest and recreation
Care & Counsel 7 Days a Week
Hope120 will provide structured support, pastoral care, and counseling access seven days a week. Recovery does not pause on weekends — and neither will we. Staff, volunteers, and community partners will maintain consistent presence throughout the week.
Professional Remote Security
Safety for all guests, volunteers, and staff is non-negotiable. Hope120 will partner with a professional external security organization to provide remote monitoring and on-call rapid response — ensuring a safe environment without an institutional atmosphere.
24/7 remote camera monitoring by licensed security partner
Clear emergency response protocols
Visitor sign-in and access control systems
Safety-first culture for guests, staff, and volunteers
On-Site Chapel & Church Community Connections
Faith is not a program add-on — it is the foundation
On-Site Chapel & Worship
Hope120 is being designed with an on-site chapel space for daily devotions, group worship, pastoral care meetings, and milestone celebrations. This space will serve as the spiritual heartbeat of the house — a regular gathering point for both residents and community partners.
Daily morning devotion and Scripture reflection
Weekly on-site worship gathering
Guest speakers, pastors, and ministry leaders
Milestone and graduation celebration services
Bus & Transportation to Partner Churches
Community belonging does not happen inside four walls. Our prayerful goal is to provide structured transportation — including bus access — to churches in the Green Bay area, so residents can build genuine, long-term faith family connections beyond the house. We are seeking churches willing to receive and walk with residents and graduates.
Planned: weekly transportation to area church services
Multiple denominational options across Green Bay (sought)
Church mentors matched to residents (partnership vision)
Post-program church placement as part of exit planning
Seeking churches willing to receive and walk with graduates
"The Body of Christ is larger than any single expression — and restoration is most durable when accountability, worship, and wise counsel converge in a lived network of grace." — RHM Leadership
Community Safety
Admission & Safety Standards
Entry to Hope120 will require a comprehensive application process — not to create barriers, but to ensure the safety and readiness of every resident, volunteer, and staff member in the community.
Comprehensive Application
Admission to Hope120 will involve a thorough, multi-step process to ensure each resident is appropriately matched to the program and that the community remains safe for everyone.
Written application with personal, faith, and recovery history
In-person or virtual intake interview with RHM staff
Background screening appropriate to program setting
Reference from pastor, counselor, or accountability partner
Medical and clinical review (to confirm no acute detox need)
Signed agreements: house rules, accountability, and expectations
Review and approval by admissions team before placement
Men & Women — Separate & Safe
Hope120 will serve both men and women in clearly separated residential spaces. Shared programming (worship, seminars, meals, celebrations) will be structured thoughtfully to maintain dignity, clarity of boundaries, and a healthy culture of growth.
Safety as Stewardship
We view safety not as a legal obligation, but as an act of love. Protecting the vulnerable people in our care — from harmful situations, from each other, and from unsafe outside influences — is a ministry responsibility we take seriously.
Professional external security partner (remote monitoring)
Clear visitor policies and access control
Mandatory staff and volunteer safety training
Zero-tolerance policy for violence, substances, or exploitation
These Are Goals & Hopes — Not Confirmed Partnerships
Everything in this section represents our vision and aspirations for Hope120. None of these partnerships are finalized. If you work for, lead, or are connected to any of these organizations — or if you simply have a heart to help make any of this a reality — we want to hear from you.
Community Integration Goals
Building a Whole-Community Network
Hope120 is not meant to stand alone. Below are the community partnerships and systems-level connections we are believing and building toward. If you can help open any of these doors, please reach out.
Goal — Not Yet Confirmed
Green Bay Area Church Covenant
One of our highest hopes is a formal, signed partnership network of local Green Bay area churches — across denominations — who commit to receiving graduates, providing mentors, sending volunteers, and walking alongside residents long after they leave Hope120.
This isn't about programs. It's about belonging. Every person who completes Hope120 needs a church that knows their name.
Commit to receiving and welcoming graduates into their congregation
Provide trained mentors matched to residents by interest and background
Send volunteers weekly to serve inside the house
Provide bus pickup and weekly transportation options
Participate in quarterly church covenant gatherings
Is Your Church Called to Be Part of This?
We are looking for pastors and church leaders who feel a Kingdom calling to be part of the covenant network. Reach out — let's have a conversation.
My Church Wants to Be InvolvedGoal
Chaplaincy Program
Beyond pastors and counselors, we hope to recruit and deploy trained chaplains available for one-on-one crisis care and spiritual support inside the house — available around the clock, not just during business hours.
Trained chaplains for overnight and weekend presence
Hospital-style 1-on-1 spiritual care visits
Crisis de-escalation and pastoral first response
Coordination with licensed clinical and counseling staff
Goal
Family Engagement & Restoration Track
Recovery without family healing is incomplete. We hope to build a structured family track — including family counseling sessions, visitation guidelines, and a quarterly "Family Day" that invites loved ones into the restoration journey.
Structured family visitation and connection policy
Family counseling sessions with RHM counselors
Quarterly "Family Day" on-site events
Family education: understanding recovery & how to help
Goals — Not Yet Confirmed
Healthcare & Clinical Partnership Goals
HSHS St. Vincent / Bellin Health
Formal MOUs with Green Bay's two major health systems for on-site medical screenings, mental health referrals, and medication management coordination for residents.
Medical intake screening for all new residents
Mental health referral coordination pipeline
Medication management support for residents on prescribed medications
Volunteer nurses or health educators from partner systems
AODA Assessment & WI DHS Integration
Since RHM already delivers AODA services, a goal is a formal on-site AODA assessment track — coordinated with Wisconsin DHS licensing — making Hope120 a recognized program in the state's continuum of care.
Wisconsin DHS recognized AODA assessment integration
Formal placement in the state continuum of care directory
Coordination with county-funded AODA treatment systems
Compliance-tracked documentation for state reporting
Outcome Goals
Accountability, Transparency & Community Advisory
We believe accountability isn't just good stewardship — it's a witness. Our goal is to be one of the most transparent recovery residences in Wisconsin.
Target Outcome Goals
These are aspirational targets — not current results. We will report publicly on real outcomes annually once operational.
Housing Stability at 6 Months
Employment at 90 Days Post-Graduation
Active Church Connection at Exit
No New Legal Involvement at 12 Months
Goal
Annual Community Impact Report
A public-facing annual report showing real outcomes — graduations, employment rates, housing stability, church connections, and recidivism reduction data. Green Bay donors and the broader community deserve to see the numbers.
Goal
Community Advisory Board
A diverse, visible advisory board with representation from local churches, business leaders, Brown County government, healthcare, and — importantly — individuals with lived experience of recovery.

Education & Formation
Biblical Counseling, Education & Hope120
The foundation of this work is biblical counseling and education. We believe Scripture must be engaged as a living interpretive frame for the whole person — not merely as a set of topic verses applied to surface-level concerns. Biblical literacy is declining across many contexts, and the needs of hurting people require deeper theological formation, ethical care, relational wisdom, and supervised practice.
Residents at Hope120 may enroll in courses through the Restoring Hope School of Biblical Counseling (RHSBC) as part of their formation journey — integrating theological education directly into recovery and discipleship. This posture is not about institutional pride. It is about humility before the seriousness of soul care.
Housing, educational scholarships, volunteer activity, and paid employment require separate agreements and fair review. A proposed service or work role does not guarantee discounted housing, and ordinary household contributions must not become coerced labor.
Invitation to Serve
Leadership, Board & Accountability Roles
RHM is inviting trusted church leaders, educators, counselors, recovery-informed leaders, business professionals, and community-minded Christians to serve in structured leadership and accountability roles. The purpose is not to gather names for appearances — we are seeking mature voices who can help steward this work with prayer, discernment, humility, and practical wisdom.
Board of Directors — governance and fiduciary stewardship
Accountability Board — ethical oversight and care standards
Church Partnership Committee — referral and pastoral collaboration
Recovery Home Development Committee — policy, planning, partners
Education & Training Committee — biblical counseling formation
Donor & Stewardship Committee — financial transparency
We are seeking leaders who love Christ more than visibility or control — who can hold mercy and accountability without collapsing either one, and who are willing to work across churches and community partners without unnecessary territorialism.
