Elgin Goodwin

Elgin Goodwin is co-owner of Gold Coast Sober Living where he runs five sober living homes within Ventura County. Although he recently joined the Ventura County Coalition, he was previously part of another local coalition. Elgin has been actively involved in Hospitals and Institutions (H & I) for almost ten years. Through H & I, he is able to carry the message of recovery, provide literature and assist individuals with creating the foundation on which to case their recovery. As part of his work with H & I, Elgin also goes into the jails to meet with those who don't have regular access to a recovery program. Elgin is working to bridge the gap between local Christian ministries and recovery homes in the community. He is working hand-in-hand with local doctors on finding the best way to house MAT (Medically Assisted Treatment) patients in the community. Elgin is looking forward to being a part of the Ventura County Coalition to raise ethics and standards across the board.
