The seemingly unconquerable cycle of poverty is one of the most distinctive features of downtown Jacksonville, Florida. Centred on the Four Pillars of Recovery from drug abuse and homelessness, Recovery aims to provide a sense of Home, Health, Purpose, and Community to those within inner-city Jacksonville.
