Hope House

Hope House is a home where you become part of the family. This is a clean and sober living house with 6 single-occupant rooms, including a 2-bedroom apartment. The desire is for residents to live alongside other people on their journey of recovery with the help of management who are available to help with accountability, encouragement, and prayer. Management is always willing to share their experience, strength, and hope to guide you through the rocky waters of your new life.

Joy House

Joy House is a men’s house with 7 single-occupant rooms. Jerald Manginelli is the house manager. He brings to the house plenty of compassion for guys in recovery, due to his own history, and he believes in helping people find restoration, just as he has found on his journey of recovery.
