Twin Cities Recovery Project Inc

What Twin Cities Recovery Project Inc does

Twin Cities Recovery Project Inc (TCRP) is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit Recovery Community Organization (RCO) founded in 2016 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Marc L. Johnigan and LaTricia Tate (current CEO) to provide peer-based recovery support for individuals affected by substance use, grief, and trauma. The organization operates from two physical offices on Minneapolis's Northside and Southside and serves approximately 150 individuals monthly through programs including Peer Recovery Coaching, MARI Safe Spaces (delivered in partnership with the Minneapolis Fire Department), Grief and Trauma Workshops, a Re-Entry Program for individuals leaving incarceration, the Recreation of Change youth program (ages 9-26), and African American Health Equity initiatives. Approximately 90% of its 7-person staff identify as BIPOC, positioning culturally responsive, lived-experience-based support as a core operational principle.

The organization's product surface is service-based rather than technology-based. Its only monetized line is Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) Training, priced at $650 per participant, which functions as both a workforce development offering and an earned-revenue stream. All other programs (peer coaching, Safe Spaces, grief workshops, re-entry support) are delivered to individuals free of charge or through referral-based access. The underlying delivery model is human-intensive: peer recovery specialists, lived-experience facilitators, and partner-hosted physical Safe Spaces at fire stations and community sites.

TCRP's business model is a hybrid of donations, grants, and modest earned training revenue. It has secured institutional partnerships with the Minneapolis Fire Department, Hazelden Betty Ford, the Minnesota Department of Health (African American Health Equity Initiative), and the Minnesota Department of Corrections / Minnesota Rehabilitation Council for the Re-Entry Program. These partnerships generate referral pipelines and likely grant funding, but no audited financials, grant totals, or donation figures are disclosed in available source material. The organization operates with a small, mission-driven team and is exposed to donor-cycle volatility typical of community-rooted 501(c)(3)s.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: National addiction treatment nonprofit with which TCRP maintains a cultivated partnership. Hazelden operates a much broader portfolio of treatment, publishing, and professional training, but its work in peer recovery and community-based support overlaps materially with TCRP's CPRS and Safe Spaces offerings.
• Faces and Voices of Recovery: National nonprofit advocacy organization promoting the recovery community movement. Comparable in mission and governance structure to TCRP as a peer recovery advocacy body operating at a national scale.

Others

• Minnesota Alliance of Recovery Community Organizations (MARCO): Statewide alliance of which TCRP is a member and within which CEO LaTricia Tate serves on the board. MARCO is an ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor, providing certification and network support that TCRP relies upon.

Direct peers

• Chicago Recovering Communities Coalition (CRCC): The first Recovery Community Organization in Illinois, founded by TCRP board member Dora Dantzler-Wright. CRCC provides peer recovery support, advocacy, and recovery community organizing — directly mirroring TCRP's service model in another major Midwestern metro.
• Steve Rummler Hope Network: Minnesota-based nonprofit addressing the opioid crisis through overdose prevention, Naloxone distribution, and recovery community support. Directly comparable as a fellow Minnesota RCO/focus area organization listed on TCRP's own resources page.
• Detroit Recovery Project Inc: Detroit-based Recovery Community Organization providing peer recovery support, harm reduction, and community-based recovery services to BIPOC communities. TCRP's consultant Dr. Andre Johnson serves as its President/CEO, making the two organizations direct operational peers with shared mission and similar service mix.

Regional players

• African American Family Services (AAFS): Twin Cities-based behavioral health nonprofit serving African American communities with substance use, mental health, and violence prevention programming. TCRP Board Co-Chair George Lewis co-wrote AAFS's M.O.V.E program, evidencing deep operational and mission alignment.
• Minnesota Association of Sober Homes (MASH): Minnesota directory and advocacy body for sober living homes. While focused on housing rather than direct service delivery, MASH operates in the same Twin Cities recovery ecosystem and is referenced by TCRP as a community resource partner.

Emerging players

• Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR): Recovery Community Organization credited in TCRP board member credentials as a Recovery Coach Trainer. CCAR is widely recognized as a pioneer in Recovery Coach training and offers comparable peer-led training and community organizing services.
• The Path Recovery Living for Women: Recovery living organization for women where TCRP board member Dora Dantzler-Wright serves as Executive Director. Operates in an adjacent recovery housing niche with overlapping peer-support and women's recovery services.
