COVID-19 Response: Joyce's House will continue to service recoverees with precautions
Welcome to Joyce's House
Joyce's House is committed to empowering women overcome addiction by providing safe, sober and short-term housing.
About Us
How We're Helping
Joyce's House is a safe, short term home for up to 9 women overcoming addiction. Unlike your average sober living home that only focuses on maintaining sobriety, we offer state of the art curriculum tailored to women of color but is also universal. With operational cost of $201,000 yearly, we anticipate on hiring five women who are in recovery and impacting the lives of 16 women annually. With the help of our tireless staff, we organize programming for our recoveree's, fundraisers, exciting community-building events, and in-depth training sessions for our staff and recoverees.
