The Dayton Recovery Plan is a $138 million framework for community COVID relief and investment for the future, made possible by the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
OneFifteen will use the proceeds toward the first phase of construction of its Houses of Hope program, while the Wesley Community Center will use its funding to improve services for the aging population in Dayton’s Westwood neighborhood.
OneFifteen offers comprehensive services for individuals recovering from addiction, including an outpatient clinic, an inpatient residential treatment center, and a crisis stabilization unit. It operates a 4.5-acre campus on Hopeland Street in the Carillon neighborhood.
The funding for OneFifteen will provide planning, architectural design, land development and preliminary construction costs for affordable housing for participants of OneFifteen treatment services. OneFifteen will build two supportive housing units serving clients who are transitioning from treatment services to community life. The houses will be constructed near the OneFifteen campus on currently vacant lots and will be planned in cooperation with the Carillon neighborhood.
OneFifteen is a not-for-profit healthcare ecosystem dedicated to the full and sustained recovery of people living with addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. The ecosystem offers a full continuum of care to meet the needs of patients and support them in full and sustained recovery.

“We are honored to be partnering with the City of Dayton,” said OneFifteen CEO Marti Taylor. “We can now offer additional safe, stable housing options to our patients, while at the same time supporting revitalization of the neighborhood. Each resident will continue to be surrounded by wrap-around services that support individuals in their recovery journey.”
Funding for the One Fifteen award will be provided through the Dayton Recovery Plan’s $55 million Improving Our Neighborhoods component. This section of the plan focuses on improving housing conditions; provide in-fill and new housing; and rehab and repair.
