On September 21, 2004 ARSR opened a sober, transitional or 3/4 house for men and women. We call it "Joe & Shirley's Place." There are 12 beds.  95% of our residents come to JSP upon release from a treatment center, jail, prison or they are making a safe/sober move from an unhealthy environment. Almost all are homeless. They can stay as long as they need to.  Many have stayed well over a year. The program fee is $100.00/wk. There are three houses and an apartment.  JSP is co-ed.  JSP encourages parents who wish to begin to reunite with children.  Many JSP residents have overnight visitation with their kids.  JSP is located near the bus routes, Frandor Shopping Center, Michigan State University and Lansing Community College.  About 50% of our residents are enrolled in college.  JSP is a 5 minute walk to the Alano East Club. JSP residents have access to an on site therapist (MSW, CSW, CAAC).  Each house has a live in manager and JSP has an on site general manager as well.
