Community Living

Social isolation is the most commonly shared characteristic of those who struggle with homelessness and substance abuse in Skid Rpw. The rehabilitation component of the Urban Training Institute applies the principle “healing comes through healthy and viable relationships.” Students are required to participate in support groups and community based activities, which nurture relationship-building skills and ultimately prepares them to deal with real world situations. Adults once filled with anger, hate and violence are reconciled within themselves and many times with their families.

UTI has zero tolerance for drugs, alcohol, tobacco and violence and/or threat of violence. Students are given support and guidance as they face and conquer their addictions. Certified classes are provided for Anger Management and Domestic Violence and Parenting. Accountability is maintained through group dynamics and frequent and random drug testing in UTI’s lab.
