How We Serve
Damascus House Community Development Corporation’s RISTORe Program is a community-based transitional housing program that provides safe, structured, and supervised environments for returning citizens and offers various programs and services. These services fall under the umbrella of the SAMSHA 8 Dimensions of Wellness (physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, vocational, financial, and environmental). Our organization helps residents develop the tools they need to better themselves and rebuild their ties to the community.
Our program staff and volunteers have the passion, experience, and training to walk alongside returning citizens through their transition process as they learn and practice new prosocial skills within a safe transitional living environment. In addition to our professional staff, we use peer specialists who have already successfully transitioned to support those beginning their journey.
