DAZE
HOUSING & RECOVERYTransforming distressed motels into "Studio Mode" recovery centers. No clinical walls. Creative therapy. Real stability.
The story isn't pretty. It's real. Daze Karter signed a deal at 18, saw the world, and then saw the bottom. The "Cocaine Rain" washed away the contracts, the friends, and the freedom.
But rock bottom is a solid foundation. In the "County Books," Daze wrote the blueprint for survival. Now, he's building the exit ramp for everyone else.
"We buy the hotels that used to trap us. We turn trap houses into safe houses."
