Peter Young Housing, Industries and Treatment

The Subject Matters host Joe Condon talks with Father Peter Young and James Morrell of the Peter Young Housing, Industries and Treatment (PYHIT) organization. PYHIT is comprised of five nonprofit entities and additional for-profit ventures that provide addiction treatment, housing and vocational and employment services across New York. It was founded by Father Peter Young, a compassionate and hardworking priest whose efforts to help the poor, addicted and incarcerated grew into a multifaceted and highly respected service organization that has been creating taxpayers for more than 50 years. Recovery from addiction requires a support system -- represented by the three-legged stool -- that includes Treatment, Housing, and Employment/Education, all working seamlessly together. Individuals with a chemical dependency shall be given every opportunity and encouragement we can provide to break loose from the cycle of addiction. Homeless veterans shall be provided with special facilities that include services and supports for readjustments to a life restored with dignity.
