FleaHab supports a healthy community where clients interact in positive ways.

Chris Loomis

“I was addicted to heroin and crystal meth, and completely in a hopeless state. I needed to do something to start my life over again. I am so grateful FleaHab was there.”

Henry ‘Hank’ Skipp

“FleaHab is better for me than standard recovery programs. FleaHab reconnected me to earth and mother nature.”

Really happy to see @cloomis12 our old house manager moving on and getting back on his own. Cris came to fleahab in 2017 and needed help bad. He was at fleahab for 7 months before stepping up as assistant house manger. 1 year in cris moved into house manger. We were lucky to have cris for 3 1/2 years. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you cris. I love how it’s working using the guys at the house to move up and gain trust. Very proud of how it’s going.

FleaHab is grateful and overjoyed by a recent dona

FleaHab is grateful and overjoyed by a recent donation made by A Greener Source to help men who have struggled for most of their lives with addiction.
A Greener Source transformed FleaHab’s Sober Living House in Santa Cruz by donating more than a dozen pieces of furniture. Our living and dining rooms received two leather couches, dining room table, ping pong table, dining and lounge chairs, Ottoman, laptop tables, and more.
A Greener Source reached out to us because they heard how many people we were helping achieve sobriety and stay strong in recovery. CEO Darryl Denny wanted to provide a comfortable living space for people who are turning their lives around.
The atmosphere for everyone living at FleaHab has improved thanks to A Greener Source’s generous donation.
Thank you A Greener Source and Darryl Denny!

We are deeply saddened of the passing of Jim (Jame

We are deeply saddened of the passing of Jim (James) Hogan, Founder of Heart of Technology. Literally the heart of the organization, Jim was an inspiration to many and an advocate for those less fortunate. He was passionate about helping disadvantaged kids and providing opportunities for them to succeed in life. He was a champion for underprivileged students to get the support they need for an education. And he believed in giving second chances to those recovering from drug and alcohol addiction to live a good and productive life. His compassion was only out-weighed by the love of his family, for which he strived to make the world a better place.

Since 2009, Heart of Technology raised over $200,000 to benefit charities and non-profits in need. These include:

CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) to keep children connected to their siblings, teach skills for life, and provide CASA volunteers.

Guardian Scholars Program at San Jose State University that provides holistic support services for former and current foster youth, wards of the court unaccompanied homeless youth, and youth under legal guardianship.

The Gary Smith Memorial Scholarship Endowment at San Jose State that awards one undergraduate scholarship yearly.

SEMI Foundation’s High Tech U helping students in under-served communities gain a foothold in technology careers.

FleaHab Sober Living of Santa Cruz County that helps recovering addicts through a unique approach to sober living that that integrates sports, nutrition and healthy lifestyle into recovery.

Jim was a true philanthropist devoting his time and money to the welfare of others. He was a dynamic force – in business, as a mentor and friend, husband, father and grandfather and in his love for his fellow man and community.

Thank you Jim for your service, your light, your guidance and your love. You will be deeply missed.
#thanks #support #lifesshort #uneverknow #greatguy #worldneedsmorejims Sending love to his family ! ❤️
