Grace Centers of Hope helps people get back on their feet
Grace Centers helps people in Southeast Michigan who are facing homelessness or are struggling with substance abuse. People with mental health issues can also receive help.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - About 14 months ago, David Smith discovered nonprofit Grace Centers of Hope as he was battling addiction.
"I always felt loved, but at a young age my father was killed by a drunk driver," he said. "I kind of fell off the planet."
Smith said he had tried to get clean in the past, but would always relapse. In December, he celebrated a year of sobriety.
"I was having some really hard times battling addiction," he said. "I ended up at Grace Centers of Hope, and it basically saved my life."
Smith has earned a GED, has been working, and will be moving into a house soon.
