Our Story

God’s Chosen Ones was founded in Lebanon, Pennsylvania to provide a vital bridge for individuals transitioning from addiction recovery to independent living. Our story began with Warren Garrett, who, through his own recovery journey and work managing a men’s recovery house, recognized a systemic gap. Men leaving treatment programs were often forced into unsafe environments—housing options plagued by drug use and criminal activity—that jeopardized their newfound sobriety and derailed their progress.

In 2018, Warren took action by opening his own home to offer affordable, short-term housing in a supportive environment. This approach removed the immediate pressures of long-term leases and financial independence, giving residents the stability they needed to rebuild their lives. God’s Chosen Ones emerged as more than just a housing solution; it became a movement dedicated to inspiring and empowering individuals in recovery through fellowship, mentorship, and purpose-driven living.

The Lebanon chapter of God’s Chosen Ones was a vital part of our mission to support individuals in recovery. Unfortunately, the unforeseen financial challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to make the difficult decision to close its doors. While this chapter’s closure marked a somber moment in our journey, it also strengthened our resolve to rebuild and expand our efforts, ensuring that our mission continues to thrive in the communities we serve.

In 2023, we embraced a new chapter by relocating our headquarters from Lebanon, Pennsylvania to San Diego, California. This move reflects our commitment to broadening our impact and reaching even more individuals in need. With a renewed vision and steadfast dedication, we continue to bring hope, healing, and transformation to communities affected by addiction. Together, we are building brighter futures—one life at a time.
