London Fog
A ghost of sorts.
In 2013, the New England Universal Social Services Committee, in hopes of setting new standards for adult social service programs in the US, introduced a new program called the FreshStart Project. The goal of the FSP was to offer adults recovering from addiction, mental illness, serious injury, or other inhibitions a new lease on life. To achieve this, they offered applicants whom they determined were stable enough to try living on their own a leased group home. The participants in the program lived in their new homes for as long as they felt necessary, learning to live and work again in an emotionally and economically stable environment, all while making friends to last a lifetime. Certainly, in their mutual struggle, some of those housemates went so far as to save up the money to purchase their FSP home, and have lived there ever since.
Now, in 2015, the FSP is still alive and kicking, but make no mistake - it's going under. The program is still in effect, but the committee has been forced to cut back. In the beginning, group homes usually had three residents, maybe four. Today, group home capacity is usually six to nine, sometimes more.
This RP will revolve around a group of FreshStart Project applicants living in their group home in Rochester, NY. While there may be some dark elements coming into play as our characters recover from whatever it is they're suffering from, this will mainly be a lighthearted RP, if all goes according to plan. I welcome all experience levels as long as you're willing to communicate with your partners in writing to keep the story engaging for everyone - emphasis on character relationships and development.
Any takers?
