Kennebrew has developed a life recovery system based on her expertise as a mental health professional and her own homeless experience and recovery. She shares this life changing system with people in transition through group coaching, presentations and her interactive book, journal and audio book (life recovery kit).


Hunter House residents will be mentored by a live-in mentor (college student) who will assist with life skills training and monitoring house rules. Although the referring agencies are responsible for teaching life skills, providing a case worker and placement in school or job training programs for the residents, Hunter House will also offer entrepreneurship training options.

In addition, residents will be encouraged to maintain their health and well-being through weekly movie nights, a holistic library, group coaching sessions and activities such as walking, yoga and trips to cultural institutions.
