Vesta Community Housing Development Board Inc

Public charity · Grantmaker Latham, NY EIN: 14-1635262

To help individuals recover from the disease of alcohol and drug addiction. To help ease the transition from correctional facilities to community living, and assist the individual to confront and overcome the underlying problems that trigger and sustain substance abuse and other self-destructive behaviors. To end the cycle of incarceration and relapse, and assist the individual in successful and constructive reentry into society. In short, to create taxpayers. We create taxpayers by serving people who are afflicted with chemical dependencies; those who are homeless; and those unprepared to make a successful transition to the world of work and good citizenship, responsibility, and community reintegration.
