Project description: Branson West-based Ozarks Teen Challenge is nearing completion on the first of two buildings planned on the site of its current facility. Together, the three buildings will serve the needs of adolescent boys enrolled in the faith-based recovery program, according to Lowlan Breaux, executive director. Breaux said the program can accommodate 30 boys to live on-site for 15 months for schooling and counseling. “They come to us with various life-controlling issues, like depression, addiction, dealing with authority,” he said. The first new building will feature five classroom spaces and an office area, while the next one will add a cafeteria and indoor recreation space. The goal is to increase capacity, though a specific occupancy target has not been set, Breaux said.
