It houses eight women who are recovering from drug and alcohol abuse.Mobile users tap here for videoThe home is where Kristin Banard's heart is."I love coming back here. Like, it's a warm feeling. It is. It's like my home," Banard said.She didn't live there long, but it changed her life."It taught me the meaning of family. How to be a productive member of society, how to go to work every day to the best I can in everything I do and how to stay sober," Banard said.The Bel Air home is called "The Homecoming Project." It's a house for women recovering from drug and alcohol abuse."I was empty and broken and didn't know how to live without drugs and alcohol," Banard said.Now the house that gave Banard a fresh start is getting a sort of new life of its own.An assembly team has taken over through the IKEA Improvement Challenge, a national contest. The house is getting about $10,000 in new furniture with a team to assemble it."It's crazy to think I am involved with something such a large corporation is interested in helping. It's completely humbling," said resident Brianna, who did not share her last name.It's people that are being affected. We have a part in helping make their lives a little better," said Bill Meiswinkel, with IKEA.A place like Homecoming wouldn't spend money on new furniture. They are just too many other expenses."Basic transportation, things, and you know, sometimes just toiletries and non-perishable food items just for the house to keep it going," said Jackie Seijack, with The Homecoming Project.That's why Homecoming has to continue to continue to find ways to run a household. After all, it costs money. They're selling bricks from businesses to families, anyone can buy them. The hope is that the bricks will stretch from their front door to their driveway.Banard said she's grateful to see what's happening because to her, it will always be home sweet home.
