Christ-Centered Ministries

What Christ-Centered Ministries does

Christ-Centered Ministries (CCM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 742 N. La Brea Ave, Inglewood, California, founded in 1999 by Troy Vaughn, a survivor of seven years of homelessness on Skid Row. The organization operates an integrated portfolio of social services targeting individuals experiencing homelessness, substance use disorder, mental illness, sex trafficking, and reentry from incarceration across Los Angeles County. Service delivery is anchored by 12 community-based recovery houses (Restoration Reentry Residence) with 240 concurrent client capacity operating since September 2017, the YADA Center for trauma and independent-living support, and the IMPACT Metro street-outreach partnership with LA Metro and the Department of Health Services.

CCM's programs include the Pit Stop hygiene facility network (16 locations in partnership with Five Keys and the City of Los Angeles), the LEAP youth leadership and BRIDGE2 social work internship pipelines, the Manna Feast 90-day culinary training program for returning citizens, and the forthcoming Project RESTORE — a 50-bed adult residential SUD treatment facility in Hawthorne, California, funded by a conditional $19.8 million BHCIP grant announced in March 2026 with a state completion target of October 1, 2027. Project RESTORE will introduce clinical assessment, 24/7 medical supervision, medication management, individual and group therapy, and aftercare planning as the organization's first licensed clinical service line.

CCM generates revenue through a blend of government contracts and grants (BHCIP, LA County DHS, METRO, Office of Diversion and Reentry, City of LA), philanthropic donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations, and prospective Medi-Cal billing from Project RESTORE at stabilization (preliminary $4.47M-$6.67M annual gross revenue projection at 50 licensed beds). Services are delivered at no cost to clients. There is no proprietary technology platform underlying service delivery; the technology footprint is limited to a WordPress website, standard social media channels, and Mailchimp email. Distribution is achieved through direct street outreach, government referrals, and community partnerships rather than a conventional sales motion.
