Filmed over six months, Getting Off the Streets shadows four men in the IHOC program, telling their life stories that brought them to the point of homelessness. Some fell upon hard times after family tragedy. Some are battling drug and alcohol addiction. Some have criminal records. Viewers experience their triumphs and their setbacks as they struggle to turn their lives around through counseling and tough love treatment that means no drugs, no alcohol, and no contact with family or friends. This series, which films in locations across southern New Jersey from Camden to Collingswood to Cherry Hill, paints an intimate portrait of the fight to get off the streets from the perspectives of those struggling and those trying to help them find their way to a better life.

 "These streets of Camden will eat you alive," explains Jacobs in the series. "We take them out of the city of Camden. We're trying to eliminate some of the triggers (that cause truancy and addiction relapses)."
