Vision & Long-Term Strategy

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” – Matthew 5:14

At the heart of Xodus Recovery Pathways is a God-given calling: to build a city on a hill—a beacon of hope, healing, and restoration. This vision goes far beyond traditional recovery services. It is a long-term, self-sustaining community rooted in purpose, worship, and fellowship, offering individuals in recovery and those experiencing homelessness a real second chance.

This future community will include:

• A central worship and community center where residents and visitors come for connection, food, services, and fellowship

• Transitional housing for individuals in recovery and the unhoused to live for up to two years

• A working farm that supports food sustainability and teaches agricultural and trade skills

• Small businesses operated and staffed by community residents

• A full mentoring model: every resident will be matched with a mentor or sponsor to guide them spiritually, emotionally, and practically

• Transportation access coordinated through COTA, ensuring residents and visitors have access to public transit

• Trade School training

• Funding and advising on starting a community impact business or service

This community will not only house and support people—it will empower them with purpose. Residents will work within the community, help operate services, and play a role in its continued development. This model promotes dignity, responsibility, and healing.

Funding & Reimbursement Model
The city will be built initially at our expense. We are self supporting through our own contributions. We may alternatively look to be sustained and reimbursed through Medicaid funding, government grants, private donations, and tax-supported initiatives at a later date TBD. The long-term goal is to make this model replicable—providing a template for cities and states across the nation to address homelessness, addiction, and disconnection from a spiritual and systemic perspective.

Our Belief
We believe the answer to the nation’s addiction and homelessness crisis isn't another program. It's a community. A spiritually anchored, self-sufficient, purpose-driven community where healing happens through connection, work, worship, and love.

Our mission and vision is to help save 144,000 people.
