When communities connect recovery housing, peer support, treatment, employment and local resources, people have more opportunities to thrive. Recovery happens together, and this hits especially close to home for the YMCA of Greater Cleveland. Through Y-Haven, we help connect people with treatment, housing and the support they need on their recovery journey.

The Great American Recovery recognizes that recovery thrives in community. When housing, peer support, employment services, faith communities and treatment providers work together, more people can build healthy, fulfilling lives. That belief is at the heart of Y-Haven and the work we do across Greater Cleveland.

Recovery housing is more than a roof overhead. It provides a safe, supportive environment where people can build stability, connect with peers and access services that strengthen long-term recovery. At Y-Haven, housing is part of a broader continuum of support designed to help people build stable, healthy lives.

Recovery happens together. Research shows meaningful human connection supports resilience, hope, and long-term recovery. At the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, we see that firsthand through Y-Haven, where recovery is supported through treatment, housing, community and connection.

During National Recovery Month, Tim Hilk explores why recovery requires more than individual determination and how supportive communities can help people heal, rebuild and move forward.

Today we celebrate Carl B. Stokes Day, honoring the life and legacy of Cleveland's trailblazing 51st mayor and the first Black mayor of a major American city. Mayor Stokes believed in expanding opportunity, strengthening neighborhoods and ensuring every person had the chance to build a better future. His vision continues to inspire our city today.

We're especially proud that Y-Haven serves individuals on their journey to recovery and stability at Stokes Mall, a building that bears his name. Every day, men and women walk through our doors seeking hope, healing and a fresh start. Through recovery services, housing support, workforce development and compassionate care, lives are being transformed in a place that reflects Mayor Stokes' enduring commitment to serving Cleveland's people.

On Carl B. Stokes Day, we honor not only a historic leader, but the belief that every person deserves opportunity, dignity and the chance to thrive. That's a legacy we're proud to carry forward every day at Y-Haven.

Today, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland Board of Directors welcomed new Board Chair Justin Binns and recognized the outstanding leadership of outgoing Chair LaRese Purnell.

LaRese's service as board chair helped guide our YMCA through both challenges and opportunities, leaving our organization stronger and better positioned for the future. As we celebrated his contributions, LaRese reflected on his own YMCA journey, sharing that he was once a "Y kid" who found positive role models, safe spaces and life-changing opportunities through the YMCA. He remarked that the YMCA was one of the organizations that helped save his life and shaped many of the decisions he made during his formative years.

Today, his story has come full circle. From a young person impacted by the Y to the leader of our Board of Directors, LaRese's journey is a powerful reminder of the lasting difference the YMCA can make in a person's life.

Thank you, LaRese, for your leadership, your passion and your continued commitment to strengthening our community. đź’ś

Last night, something truly powerful happened on stage.

In collaboration with Cleveland Public Theatre, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland presented the 27th annual Y-Haven Theatre Project, also known as Steps & Stages, and it was nothing short of extraordinary.

Fourteen residents of Y-Haven courageously shared their journeys through an original performance rooted in real-life experiences of addiction, struggle, resilience and hope. With honesty, humor and raw emotion, this year’s story explored how quickly life can unravel, and how even in the aftermath, redemption is always possible.

A packed house witnessed a performance that moved hearts, inspired reflection and reminded us all of the power of second chances.

We are incredibly proud of our residents and grateful to our partners at Cleveland Public Theatre for their guidance and commitment to this life-changing work.

Special thanks to our presenting sponsors, Pysbill and Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, and to our generous supporters: Anthem, Forest Hill Church, studioTECHNE architects, Tom and Beth Zych, Jeff and Anne Smith, Fred DeGrandis and Rosemary Creeden and Tom Otto.

This is what well-being and belonging look like in action. ❤️
