In 2005, Leading from his Heart and seeing the great need for our unhoused individuals and the rising numbers of individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues, Dr. Allen S. Turner decided to become a Solution.
Dr. Allen S. Turner and his GLOM team developed a unique evidence-based approach to provide support in reconnecting thousands of previously incarcerated individuals back to their communities as value adds for themselves and their families.
As a Solution to Community Issues, Dr. Turner and GLOM saw the rising numbers of our unhoused individuals across the Bay Area as well in Northern and Central California. He recognized the need and moved into action and began opening licensed homes to service individuals with a focus on their root cause issues. Together they developed and instituted the unique GLOM Way and APPROACH. The APPROACH was to ensure GLOM not only cared for the individuals, but that we also worked collaboratively, with each person, to ensure our joint goal of each person returning back to their community as a positive re-addition.
