Q: What Makes Roots Houses Different?
We don't just provide housing—we help women build lives worth staying sober for.​ We believe recovery happens through connection, accountability, and second chances.
  • 🌱 Housing First Philosophy – We believe safe, stable housing is the foundation for lasting recovery.
  • 💚 Trauma-Informed Care – We understand that many women have experienced trauma. We strive to create an environment that is safe, respectful, and empowering.
  • 🤝 Peer Support – You're never expected to do recovery alone. You'll be surrounded by women who understand the journey and encourage your growth.
  • 🌿 Second Chances – We know that healing isn't always a straight line. We don't expect perfection—we expect honesty, accountability, and a willingness to keep moving forward.
  • 🌸 A Place to Learn and Grow – Mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth. We work through challenges together while maintaining healthy boundaries and community expectations.
  • 🏡 Long-Term Recovery Focus – Our goal isn't simply to help you stay sober today—it's to help you build a stable, independent life that supports lasting recovery.

​
We don't like the word "Rules", this is your house and your community. We use guidelines to keep the community safe for all residents. 
Q. How Long Can You Stay?
As long—or as short—as you need. Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is your timeline.

At Roots, you tell us what you need—we don't tell you when you're "done." Whether your goal is a few months or a few years, we'll work alongside you as you build a stable foundation for recovery, employment, financial independence, and healthy living.

As long as you're actively engaged in your recovery, meeting program expectations, contributing toward your housing costs, and continuing to make progress, we'll support you in your journey.

When you're ready to transition to independent living, we'll celebrate that next step with you.
​
Our goal isn't to move you out quickly—it's to help you move forward confidently. 🌱
Q: How Much Do We Cost?
Roots Recovery Housing is committed to providing safe, affordable recovery housing for women rebuilding their lives.

We strive to keep our housing as affordable as possible, with rates that are significantly lower than many other recovery housing programs, while still providing a safe, supportive, and structured recovery environment.

Residents are expected to be employed (or actively seeking employment if newly admitted) and contribute toward their housing costs as part of building long-term independence and financial stability.
