About Us
Our Story
Rise. Rebuild. Become.
In 2008, I hit rock bottom in my addiction. I was a criminal with no direction and no future beyond incarceration or death. A family member offered to let me move in — even though they knew exactly where I was in my disease. Others urged them not to do it. They did it anyway, trusting a feeling they couldn’t fully explain.
But they didn’t just give me a place to sleep. They gave me boundaries. Rules. Household responsibilities. They held me accountable in ways no one else had. That structure — not just the roof over my head — is what gave me the foundation to rebuild my life.
I’ve since spent years in recovery alongside people from every kind of background, and I’ve seen a pattern: so many of us grew up in homes where our parents were also struggling with addiction. We never learned the basics — how to keep a clean home, cook a meal, manage money, manage time, or set and follow through on a goal. Recovery treats the addiction. It doesn’t always teach the life skills that keep you out of it.
Why we exist
Soul Ascent House was built to close that gap. We believe sober living should do more than provide sobriety and a bed — it should rebuild the foundation many of our residents never had the chance to build in the first place.
Our approach goes beyond the standard sober living model. Alongside the accountability and structure of a traditional program, residents build the practical, everyday life skills — responsibility, discipline, budgeting, goal-setting, time management — that give them a real shot at lasting success once they leave our doors.
Our mission
To give every resident the same foundation that changed our founder’s life: structure, accountability, and the life skills needed to build a future outside of addiction — with a lower likelihood of relapse and a stronger likelihood of lasting success.
What makes us different
We don’t just ask residents to stay sober. We ask them to grow — into people who know how to run a household, manage a life, and carry themselves like the person they’re becoming. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and the standard we hold for every person who walks through our door.
