House Standards

House rules & expectations

Daily expectations

• Maintain personal hygiene and self-care daily

• Keep your room and shared spaces clean

• Complete your assigned household chores on schedule

• Be respectful in all interactions with housemates and staff

• Attend required meetings, meals, or house check-ins on time

House responsibilities

• Each resident is assigned rotating household duties (cooking, cleaning, maintenance)

• Shared spaces are kept clean and orderly by all residents, not just whoever’s “turn” it is

• Groceries, supplies, and shared costs are managed responsibly and split fairly

Accountability

• Curfews and check-ins are followed as set by the house

• Whereabouts are communicated when leaving the house

• Random drug and alcohol testing may be conducted

• Conflicts are addressed directly and respectfully — not avoided or escalated

Financial responsibility

• Residency fees and shared expenses are paid on time

• Residents are expected to work toward employment, budgeting, and financial independence

Zero tolerance

• No drug or alcohol use on or off premises

• No violence, threats, or theft

• No overnight guests without prior approval

Growth requirements

• Active participation in life-skills programming (budgeting, goal-setting, time management)

• Set and track personal recovery and life goals with house leadership

• Engage honestly and consistently in your own growth — this only works if you do the work

Breaking these rules isn’t just a violation of the house — it’s a step away from the foundation you came here to build. We hold you to this standard because someone once held it for us, and it changed everything.
