Your Partners for Transformative Change

When people experience substance use, mental health challenges, and housing instability, having options for services and supports is essential. Many communities have a limited continuum of service options and are often unprepared to meet the needs of everyone who needs help. Since 2006, C4 has collaborated to identify service gaps, design solutions, and implement programs and practices that support recovery, wellness, and housing stability.

We Put People First

Close to half of our staff is in recovery from substance use and mental health conditions, homelessness, or incarceration. Many more are family members of people in recovery as well as clinicians, practitioners, and leaders with on-the-ground experience designing and delivering services. We prioritize the lived/living experience and first-hand knowledge of our staff, clients, and partners in all our work.
