COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - PROJECT LOCATION ADDRESS: 1706 N KEDZIE AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60647 ORGANIZATION ADDRESS: 55 E JACKSON BLVD SUITE 1500, CHICAGO, IL 60604 PROJECT DIRECTOR KAROLINA STRACK 224-717-0338 KSTRACK@GATEWAYFOUNDATION.ORG WEBSITE HTTPS://WWW.GATEWAYFOUNDATION.ORG/ GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS $1,330,000 SUMMARY THE ADDICTION AND OVERDOSE CRISIS HAS REACHED EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS IN THE LAST DECADE, WITH PRELIMINARY NUMBERS SHOWING THAT OVER 105,000 AMERICANS LOST THEIR LIVES TO OVERDOSE IN 2021. THE CDC ANNOUNCED THAT MORE PEOPLE DIED FROM DRUG OVERDOSE IN 2021 THAN ANY OTHER YEAR IN U.S. HISTORY - MAKING THE PRESENT THE MOST CRITICAL TIME FOR STRENGTHENING THE SYSTEM OF CARE FOR PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD). THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO DO THAT IS BY INVESTING IN TREATMENT AND LONG-TERM RECOVERY HOUSING AND SUPPORTS. GATEWAY FOUNDATION’S KEDZIE RECOVERY HOME (KRH) ON THE WEST SIDE OF CHICAGO IS A VITAL INSTITUTION AND CRITICAL COMMUNITY RESOURCE PROVIDING RECOVERY HOUSING FOR ADULT MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE TRANSITIONING OUT OF RESIDENTIAL SUD TREATMENT AND ARE IN NEED OF A STABLE, SAFE, AND SOBER LIVING ENVIRONMENT. NEARLY ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALS WE SERVE LIVE AT OR BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL AND COME FROM HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES WHERE STRUCTURAL RACISM HAS PREVENTED COMMUNITIES OF COLOR FROM HAVING EQUAL ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTHCARE AND WELLNESS SUPPORT. DESPITE ITS ROLE AS A CRITICAL, SAFETY-NET PROVIDER, KRH HAS SUFFERED FROM YEARS OF DIVESTMENT IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE CAPITAL. AREAS NEEDING RENOVATION INCLUDE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE, RETROFITTING AMENITIES TO MEET UNIVERSAL DESIGN STANDARDS, UPDATING RESIDENTIAL LIVING QUARTERS, AND REVITALIZING OUTDOOR AREAS. WITH THIS FUNDING, WE WILL HAVE ONE OF THE FEW FULLY ADA ACCESSIBLE RECOVERY HOMES IN THE AREA WITH THE CAPACITY TO ALSO PROVIDE SERVICES TO PEOPLE RECEIVING MEDICATION ASSISTED RECOVERY (MAR). THE KEDZIE RECOVERY HOME RENOVATION PROJECT WILL DRAMATICALLY IMPRO VE AND REVITALIZE AN EXISTING AND ESTABLISHED SOBRIETY-FOCUSED, RECOVERY HOME THAT HAS BEEN OPERATING IN CHICAGO’S WEST SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY. AS A NON-PROFIT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT PROVIDER, WE FOCUS ALL OF OUR CAPABILITIES ON THE TREATMENT AND SUCCESS OF OUR CLIENTS. WITH EXTERNAL FUNDING, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE, UPDATE THE FACILITY TO ACCOMMODATE INDIVIDUALS WITH MOBILITY ISSUES, AND CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT FACILITATES LONG-TERM RECOVERY. THE INTERIOR RENOVATION WILL INCLUDE INSTALLING AN HVAC SYSTEM, AN ELEVATOR, FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM, RENOVATING EXISTING BATHROOMS TO ADA STANDARDS, AS WELL AS REVITALIZING RESIDENTIAL LIVING QUARTERS. ALL OF THE PROJECTS WILL DIRECTLY IMPACT THE SAFETY AND RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WORKING TOWARDS LONG-TERM SOBRIETY. ENABLING PEOPLE TO REACH LONG-TERM SOBRIETY BY CREATING THE MOST OPTIMAL ENVIRONMENT FOR RECOVERY IS NOT ONLY BENEFICIAL TO THOSE DIRECTLY ENGAGED IN TREATMENT, BUT ALSO BENEFICIAL TO OUR SOCIETY AT LARGE BY RETURNING HEALTHY AND MOTIVATED MEMBERS BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE EXTERIOR PORTION OF THE RENOVATION PROJECT, SUCH AS ADDRESSING DEFERRED MAINTENANCE OF HARDSCAPE AND LANDSCAPE AREAS, WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE BEAUTIFICATION OF OUR WEST SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD. ALTHOUGH OFTEN OVERLOOKED, BEAUTIFICATION IS VITAL IN ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED AND STRUGGLING NEIGHBORHOODS AS IT BOOSTS REGENERATION AND FOSTERS PRIDE IN THE PLACES WE CALL HOME. WHEN THE RENOVATION IS FULLY COMPLETED, THE KEDZIE RECOVERY HOME WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE HUNDREDS OF CHICAGO’S MOST VULNERABLE EACH YEAR, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ITS 50+ YEAR HISTORY IT WILL BE ABLE TO FULLY ACCOMMODATE THOSE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES AND/OR PHYSICAL DISABILITIES.
