Heart House Comprehensive Recovery Community

05/20/2026

Creating something is vulnerable, but we are still here, working daily - facilitating groups, meeting with people, applying for grants, sharpening our logistics, praying for guidance, and looking for open doors. That's why the name Heart House came so easily...Heart house isn't about a one-size-fits-all solution or making money or "cures." It is about leading from the heart and inviting others to feel safe enough to meet us there. Home is where the heart is, and everyone deserves a home where they can come as they are and allow their heart to heal, with no financial barriers 🫶🏼 it can be hard not to get discouraged when navigating systems that created some of the exact things we are addressing...but in the end, our mission is to honor the nuance of the human experience by collaborating WITH people who use drugs and want change, to create something different! And we won't give up ♥️

Sometimes community is as simple as being consistent.

Today, I dug up the very first thing I ever wrote towards this vision. Excuse the sloppy handwriting but EVERYTHING about the groups and this house has been soooo intentional. Intentionally open, intentionally non-hierarchical, intentionally FOR people on the street, and coming from a need that also exist within myself, NOT to fix anyone. 🫶🏼 heres a little piece of my heart -Kimberly

Today, we really started the whole grant process. Having full time jobs and a family doesn't leave a lot of time for extra work...but we believe in our vision so much that we will get creative to make it happen. I started, and had a moment..."who am i? I just used a lot of drugs and got lucky..." then I took a deep breath and turned that absolute faith I have in others, towards myself, and started writing. After spending hours working on 3 grants, I found myself thinking...wow I've been waiting for this moment for years 🫶🏼 it's the small, not so glamorous, moments, put together to make something so beautiful ♥️ please stay with us, share or donate when/if you can, this house will be open in 2026 🙏 I just know it.

Our Non-abstinence based recovery groups take some getting used to sometimes. People come in, expecting that like other groups, what we want to hear is that they are abstinent or want to be. Folks quickly find out that it IS truly a safe space to say what's real. To say - "I used less today," "something's gotta give **** is killing me, but **** helps my anxiety," or "I just wanna feel better but I don't want to be completely sober" We fully support folks who desire abstinence, but don't consider that the only version of success. We simply want everyone to feel safe to share honestly and have the support they need to feel good in their body, mind, and life! Having ONLY "Abstinence only" models available, keeps many people stuck in a place they would rather not be. Humans WANT to thrive and be healthy and feel good, but when the only option is undesirable or inaccessible, folks may choose to stay with what's familiar. In Heart House Community groups we celebrate each other for every step of self determined health and wholeness! 🫶🏼 Reach out for up to date groups days/times
