    House Expectations

    Our guidelines are designed to create a safe, structured, and supportive environment where every woman can thrive in her recovery.

    What We Expect From Our Residents

    Zero Tolerance Policy

    We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use to ensure a safe, trigger-free environment for all residents.

    Active Recovery Program

    Residents are expected to actively participate in a recognized recovery program (such as AA, NA, Smart Recovery, etc.) and attend regular meetings.

    Employment or Volunteering

    To build a structured and productive lifestyle, residents must be employed, actively seeking employment, enrolled in school, or volunteering.

    Curfew & Accountability

    A standard curfew is enforced to promote healthy sleep habits and safety. Residents must also participate in regular drug and alcohol screenings.

    House Meetings & Chores

    Living in a community requires shared responsibility. Residents must attend weekly house meetings and complete assigned daily/weekly chores.

    Respect & Sisterhood

    We expect all residents to treat each other, staff, and the property with the utmost respect. Bullying, theft, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

    By adhering to these expectations, residents build the foundation for a successful, independent, and sober life.
