Six citizens, concerned about community re-entry needs of the recovering alcoholic, formed Alcohol Recovery Inc (A.R.I.) in 1977. Until that time, a program did not exist in the Winnipeg community tailored to meet the long-term implications of addiction recovery.Consequently, the Board of Directors of the newly formed A.R.I. designed a 'living program' for recovering alcoholics that would plug the holes in existing projects, and give suffering individuals a better chance of successful long-term recovery. Funding and support was sought from institutions and individuals to get the A.R.I. homes under way.Thanks to the diligence of the initial Board, the necessary financial resources were obtained and A.R.I. began operations in slightly over a year. In November 1978, A.R.I. officially opened a men's residence, and in May 1980, a women's residence was added.In the late 1990s, Ester House, a recovery home specifically for women but independent from A.R.I., was established in Winnipeg.

Since 1994, LITE has supported jobs in Winnipeg's inner city. As a Public Foundation, we raise money from generous Winnipeggers and spend it in ways that promote jobs and long-term development in the community.Why? Take a walk through many of our inner city neighbourhoods and you'll see a mix of situations. Bright and tidy efforts at community renewal and sturdy, long-time businesses exist side by side with some pretty big problems. You'll see empty buildings, vandalism, homelessness and racism to name a few. Tragically, there is a legacy of social decline in the inner city. It's evident to the casual observer as well as in income and employment statistics, which show growing numbers of people living in poverty and depending on social assistance.

It does this by improving the quality and accessibility of housing, creating jobs, upgrading commercial and industrial areas, implementing employment development programs, improving the overall image of the community, and reducing crime in the community. The corporation provides co-ordination activities and a strategic focus for many of the community improvement activities taking place in the north end.NECRC is committed to the social, economic and cultural renewal of the North End of Winnipeg.NECRC defines its development goals through annual consultations and ongoing networking with North End residents and businesses
