Men’s Transitional Housing
OpenDoors operates two Transitional Houses for men coming out of prison, both of which are certified through that National Association of Recovery Residences. Both programs provide case management, peer recovery coaching, and employment assistance in a structured, supportive, and sober environment.
The 9 Yards House focuses on people just coming out of prison on parole or probation, and provides a high level of support and assistance as people transition back into society. That house is part of the State-wide Recovery Housing network and tenants receive subsidized rent through that program. People can access the house by calling 942-STOP and beds are generally filled with a waitlist. OpenDoors prioritizes people coming of prison on parole for this program.
Our Phase II House provides longer term transitional housing for people that have some higher degree of independence. This is a self-pay house requiring people to pay rent monthly of $450-$600. The program focuses on people released from prison within the last six months as well as referrals from the Federal Courts and Federal probation system.
