For half a century, Father Peter Young has helped inmates and parolees overcome their addictions. Peter Young Housing, Industries and Treatment (PYHIT) evolved out of Fr. Youngs firm belief that effective recovery is only possible if treatment is followed up with housing and jobs training. Fr. Young has forged successful public-private partnerships across New York State. The network of treatment, housing, and job training programs spans 100 sites. Three thousand people rely on services from PYHIT every day. PYHIT boasts a recidivism rate of less than 10 percent. In all, Fr. Young has helped hundreds of thousands move from addiction to becoming tax-paying members of society. www.pyhit.com (less info)
