Milestone Recovery

02/19/2026

If you see a HOME Team worker talking with someone outside, it might look like a quick check-in 🤝
But that moment can be the start of a safety plan, a referral, a ride to services 🚐, or the first honest conversation about recovery in a long time.
This is what your support makes possible 🙏

Milestone Recovery is proud to be part of Project HOPE and to work alongside the City of Portland, Commonspace, and Preble Street to support neighbors moving from unsheltered homelessness to housing. Special shoutout to our HOPE team member, Autumn, for the care and dedication she brings to this work every day.

Please join us in celebrating a major milestone: Project HOPE has officially reached 71 housing placements! 🎉 🏘️

Project HOPE (Housing Opportunities for People Living in Encampments) is a dedicated interagency team featuring housing navigators from Commonspace, Milestone Recovery, and Preble Street. Together, we focus on supporting neighbors experiencing unsheltered homelessness by increasing community supports and stabilization—leading to permanent, safe housing and long-term success.

Want to help us reach our next milestone? We are hiring Human Service Counselors to join our team! 👉 If you’re passionate about making a direct impact in our community, visit our job portal to learn more and apply today: https://bit.ly/3NXWcBd.

At Milestone Recovery, we see it every day. Emergency shelters are a critical safety net and a front door to recovery, stabilization, and housing.

Tomorrow (Tuesday, February 10 at 1:00 PM), we will be in Augusta to advocate for LD 2124, which would provide sustainable, ongoing funding for Maine’s emergency shelters.

If you believe every Mainer deserves a safe place to turn, please submit testimony or testify online or in person.

Cross Building, Room 206 (Augusta)
Ask the Committee to vote “Ought to pass.”

Shelter is more than a bed for the night. Research highlights real community benefits like fewer emergency room visits, fewer evening crimes, and most importantly, lives saved. We are proud to be part of the safety net that keeps people alive while long-term solutions are built. read more: https://www.sciotoanalysis.com/news/2025/10/23/what-is-the-impact-of-homeless-shelters

To our unhoused friends: please do not try to ride this out outside. Extreme cold is coming to Southern Maine tomorrow, plus snow and wind are in the forecast.

Milestone Recovery will be out on the streets checking on people, sharing cold-weather supplies, and helping you make a plan to get somewhere inside.

If you want help, or if you see someone who needs help, contact the HOME Team:
Call or text: 207-838-8904

Our shelter is open and we will do everything we can to help you get in, get warm, and get connected to care. 🙏❤

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the call to meet cruelty with courage, and hatred with love. May we be the planners, builders, and binders our communities need, choosing dignity, justice, and compassion in what we do next. ❤️
