About The Kindred Center

The Kindred Center will provide a supportive sober and independent living environment that encourages seniors 55+, fosters positive behavioral changes, and improves emotional well-being while connecting with the community to further promote independent growth for reintegration into the community.

​

Mr. and Mrs. Borders founded The Kindred Center (TKC) in 2014 as previously mentioned due to the need of housing for individuals enduring homelessness, parole or probation, and sober and living. Both are retired, Mr. Borders from LAUSD and Mrs. Borders from the county of Los Angeles. They chose to open their doors to the sober and living community to provide a safe and supportive environment with a home-like atmosphere for adults, but primarily seniors 55+. They feel by providing such an environment, the residents will be able to become productive citizens and reintergrate into the community successfully. Mrs. Borders has worked and/or volunteered in the field of sober and living for over 15 years. Mrs. Borders started working in a board and care facility and helped transition that facility from a board and care to a Sober and Living facility. Mr. & Mrs. Borders enjoyed their time at that facility and decided to open their own facility known as THE KINDRED CENTER. Both, Mr. and Mrs. Borders, hope TKC will foster the personal change and growth in the residents behavior for years to come. 

TKC houses individuals living with co-current disorders that include substance use. Our residents are independently functioning at a high level, but need housing stability and support. TKC staff assist residents with their medication, problem solving, and other needs as necessary. TKC staff builds healthy and positive relationships with each resident for better understanding of their needs on a foundation of respect.
