TROSA

TROSA was founded in 1994 with Kevin McDonald at the helm and just $18,000 in the bank. Durham County Commissioners showed their support by voting unanimously to lease the Old North Durham Elementary School to TROSA for $1 per year and the Durham Chamber of Commerce provided a grant to help start our program. In order to provide vocational training and generate additional revenue, Kevin began a potato peeling social enterprise and later a moving service... Founded in 1994, TROSA is an award-winning, evidence-based, peer-driven treatment program for individuals with substance use disorders. We provide free housing, meals, clothing, vocational and life skills training, counseling and classes, health services, mentorship, counseling, and more.
