(338)

We provide programs and services to men and women suffering from homelessness and addiction. Our long-term, residential Spiritual Recovery Program is our flagship. Since 1995, we have helped hundreds of men break the cycle of addiction, poverty, and homelessness. The average homeless man or woman we serve has survived two decades of substance abuse and years on the streets. They come to us addicted, destitute, and dysfunctional — with no realistic capacity to recover on their own. For a man or woman in that condition, a “quick fix” doesn’t exist. Healing requires a holistic approach. By God’s grace, lives are transformed as men and women who have suffered for years — or in many cases, decades — on the streets rise up and regain their purpose, hope, and independence. As they do, all Baltimore is blessed along with them; our community experiences healing.

Happy Friday, HUM Family!
Today we proudly celebrate Renee from the Center for Women & Children as she completes our Spiritual Recovery Program — what an incredible milestone!
Her journey reminds us that true transformation comes through courage, faith, and choosing to move forward one day at a time.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”
— Jeremiah 29:11

Many of our men have grown up in an urban environment, so time with the horses is often a completely new experience. Out here, they slow down, breathe, and begin to feel something they have not felt in a long time.

Lita and Ric Hughes lead Helping Up Mission’s equine therapy program. Their son, Cooper, graduated from Helping Up Mission, and he found real peace with the horses. Cooper has since passed away, but his story remains deeply woven into this work.

Ric says, “You can feel God’s fingerprints on the day.”

Lita adds, “The men feel full, they feel peace and they feel God.”
