About Street Life Recovery Program (SLRP)

Street Life Recovery Program LLC (SLRP) is a community-driven organization based in Southeastern Michigan, committed to helping individuals rebuild their lives through compassion, connection, and empowerment. Founded by Edward Ian Robinson, a Certified Peer Support Specialist, Community Health Worker, and author of Drug Dealers Anonymous, SLRP was built on lived experience, resilience, and a deep belief that recovery and self-sufficiency are possible for everyone.

At SLRP, we provide a holistic network of care—blending peer support, non-emergency medical transportation, home care, mobile grooming services, and community education. Our integrated model bridges gaps in traditional systems by meeting people where they are—whether in homes, drop-in centers, group homes, or on the street—delivering dignity-driven services that restore hope and independence.

Our initiatives include:

Mobile Barber & Grooming Services: Offering professional grooming for individuals with limited access, including seniors, veterans, and those with disabilities.

Home Care & Recovery Support: Providing compassionate, person-centered assistance for adults in need of daily living support and behavioral health recovery.

Peer-Led Education & Outreach: Facilitating programs centered on recovery, re-entry, mental health, and financial literacy.

Partnership & Collaboration: Working alongside local organizations like Perfect Place Drop-In Center (PPDC) to expand access to wellness and workforce opportunities.

Every program under the SLRP umbrella is designed to break cycles of dependency, create pathways to employment, and build stronger, healthier communities. We are more than a service provider—we are a movement of restoration and purpose.
