BACKGROUND:
A Christ-Centered Ministry for Men. Affordable Housing for Men Seeking Freedom From Addiction. We seek to help men, and therefore families also, become free of addiction through safe, affordable housing, to help men obtain employment, pay off debts, & learn new life skills.
Our Mission is to equip and empower men to overcome addictions, including their root causes and related barriers, to restore their lives relationally, financially, and spiritually through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
We currently have 4 homes that house 32 men. These men are required to work, pay weekly rent, and attend recovery meetings. They are also required to attend church as a group. Our homes are close to the bus line so men may easily get to jobs and meetings if they are without a vehicle. Men have come to Friends House through agencies such as drug court, rehabilitation facilities, judges, jail, homeless healthcare, and other ministries. We stay at 100% occupancy most of the time.

Residents are interviewed before acceptance and must be sober. There are expectations in attitude, behavior, and goals with which they must agree before entering. Violation of these expectations could result in loss of residency. We seek to do all we can to encourage success in sobriety and return to a productive, happy life. Residents cannot have a violent offense or a sexual offense charge against them.
