News Release

Six Months In, Step Springs Is Already Changing The Trajectory Of Men’s Lives - 05/01/26

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Colorado Springs, CO — May 1, 2026 — Just six months after opening its doors, Step Springs is already transforming lives in Colorado Springs. The peer‑driven residential recovery program for men is helping residents move from addiction‑driven homelessness to sobriety, stability, and full‑time employment.

What Step Springs makes possible:

  • From 34 felonies to employed and recently promoted to a manager position.
  • From living in a car for two years to six months sober and employed.
  • From panhandler outside a convenience store to full time employee at that store.

Step’s program builds real transformation through sobriety, work, accountability, and community. Before Step Springs opened, men were living in shelters, encampments, cars, and coming out of jail homeless – all while trying to navigate addiction alone. Step Springs offers a different path: a safe, structured environment led by men in long‑term recovery who have walked the same road.

Step Springs has:

  • Served 127 men
  • More than 75% have secured full-time, tax-paying jobs in under 45 days
  • 39 men have progressed to Phases II, III, & IV of the program by hitting key recovery goals & stability milestones

The organization is on track to serve 160 men in its first year and 800 men within its first five years, reflecting both the scale of community need and the strength of Step’s proven model.

“Before Step Springs, my car was the only place I had left,” one resident shared. “I wasn’t choosing to live that way. I just didn’t see a way out.”

Residents like him are not alone. Many arrive after months or years in tents, vehicles, shelters, or temporary spaces. Step Springs provides the structure, accountability, and community needed to rebuild. Through daily routines, employment support, and peer coaching, men move from survival to stability to long‑term independence.

Because Step Springs is supported through private donations and takes no government funding, there is no cost to enter the program, removing financial barriers for any man ready and willing to pursue sobriety and stability.

Robert is one of the many success stories. He walked through the doors on opening day and celebrated six months sober this week.
