Hope for NH Recovery

What Hope for NH Recovery does

Hope for NH Recovery (legal entity: Friends of Recovery NH; EIN 02-0521502) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization operating a community-based peer recovery support center at 293 Wilson St. in Manchester, New Hampshire. The organization's mission is connecting people to recovery through community, and its service portfolio spans Community Based Recovery (daily groups, peer coaching, events, and volunteer pathways), Hope Connections (mobile homeless outreach with case management, harm reduction, and trust-building), the Laura Cooley Community Wellness Clinic (holistic modalities including ear acupuncture, Reiki, massage, aromatherapy, and meditation), the Focus Program (live-in recovery housing through Foundation and Momentum program houses with weekly check-ins and personalized recovery plans), Professional Recovery Training (CRSW, Peer Professional, and ADS certification preparation), an Arts Program featuring over 500 member-created paintings, and scheduled recovery meetings including AA, NA, and SMART Recovery. Services are delivered free of charge Mon–Sat 11:30AM–9:00PM to individuals and families affected by substance use disorder in the Greater Manchester area.

The business model is donation-based, supported by individual contributions, likely grants, and probable government funding; the organization explicitly relies on tax-deductible community donations as its primary operating fuel. Go-to-market is community-led: word-of-mouth, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram), the recoverynh.org website, community events (Recovery Festival, Gala, Kickball, Recovery Roller Rally, Common Ground Concert), and structured referrals from statewide infrastructure partners including The Doorway, NH211, and the NH Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services (NH Recovery Hub). There is no proprietary technology platform, software product, mobile app, or API; the "product" is human-delivered service, and differentiation rests on the lived-experience composition of staff (nearly all named personnel are in long-term personal recovery and hold CRSW credentials) and the breadth of wraparound programming under one roof.

Customer concentration on the demand side is structurally low — Hope serves any walk-in individual or family seeking recovery support, with no per-customer revenue or churn exposure — while the principal residual risk lies on the funding side, where donor and grantor concentration is undisclosed. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Jacob Young and led by Executive Director Randy Stevens, MSW, CRSW, ADS, with a Deputy Director (Missy Kimball), Compliance Director (Dave Cote), and a roster of approximately nineteen named operational, peer-support, case-management, training, and creative staff. No venture, private equity, or parent-company ownership is present, consistent with its 501c3 status.
