The Light of Truth Center, Inc.

Vaile Leonard, the Founder and CEO of The Light of Truth Center, has been in the recovery process for the past 12 years and has volunteered for several community service positions. In 1992 Ms. Leonard changed her lifestyle from full time addiction to full time recovery.

In 1999 Vaile inherited her Uncle’s house nestled within the residential neighborhood Penn-North in Baltimore City.

With this blessing she was able to fulfill a long time promise that she made to herself during her recovery process.

She would help other recovering women by offering them a safe and clean environment conducive to recovery, thus enabling them to focus on their healing

The Maryland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration estimated that there were 58,316 adults in need of treatment in Baltimore City in fiscal year (FY) % of those in need were treated.

More women have been seeking treatment over the past few years; furthermore, data indicates there aren't enough programs or housing for women in the system.

According to the data composed by Maryland Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene, from there has been a 23% increase of women coming into treatment in Baltimore City.

That’s where The Light of Truth Center, Inc (LTC) comes in  LTC encourages women to stand in the newness of life  To choose to change their behaviors, attitudes, perspectives, and ideas  LTC provides a safe and clean environment for women

Thus, giving them the opportunity to seek the necessary programs and agencies that will lead them into their own homes, or perhaps, reunite them with their families.

In the past 4 years since opening, LTC has assisted over 36 women. Of the 36, 27 have either become house managers for other transitional houses, moved into their own apartments, or homes, continued with educational goals…

And most importantly, they are still abstaining abstaining from drugs or alcohol.
