The community includes private and studio apartments tailored for safety and comfort, with staff trained to manage challenging behaviors and promote recovery.

Where do I begin? I arrived at Inspiring lives broken and homeless. While I remained hopeful and optimistic, my hopes were shattered when I learned that Molly at Inspiring Lives was not agreeable to finding me housing or admitting me to the RCF side of Prairie View. While they claim to be a crisis center, they outright refused to help me find housing. Surely they receive State and Federal funding to help people like me, but they cherry pick who they help and who they drive back to their hometown and drop of at the library. Lots of great staff there. Shoutout to Mary Ann, Hannah, Regina and Shawna. Even the notorious Bob was great. I think its a great program. I just am confused as to who they help. I will always think of my time there fondly. Im just still homeless and in a crisis.
