Our History

The Ark of Decatur County is a faith based men’s recovery house providing affordable housing, accountability, and the necessary tools to live a substance free lifestyle. The objective  of the overall  program is helping men change their lifestyles, gaining a different perspective and thereby changing old destructive behaviors and habits.

 

The Ark of Decatur County, formerly known as the Greensburg Transitional Living Center, was started by Emily and Carmelo Velez among others.  They sought to help the homeless and those struggling with recovery.  Over time, the facility emerged as a men’s recovery house that is managed by a full time Executive Director.  We can serve up to 33 men at one time.  it is The Ark’s position, and Executive Director Brumley lives and demonstrates this approach, that success in sobriety comes first and foremost from developing and embracing a relationship with God.  The Ark demonstrates this belief by having a Spiritual Director who meets with all clients initially, and thereafter with those desiring to deepen their faith and lean into their relationship with Jesus Christ throughout their sobriety journey.
