About this Recovery House
Harbor House Recovery is a men's sober living home in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in El Paso County, run by the nonprofit Homeward Pikes Peak on its Bijou Street campus. The program has operated since 2003 and pairs stable housing with a structured path back to steady work.
A Men's Sober House on the Bijou Street Campus
Harbor House Recovery occupies ten two-bedroom units on a shared campus in central Colorado Springs, with room for up to 20 men at a time. Residents move in after a six-week period of intensive, sobriety-focused treatment, then transition into up to eighteen months of housing while they rebuild an income and a routine. A shared gym and recreation space keep the campus self-contained, which matters in the early months when a stable place to spend downtime is as important as a stable place to sleep.
What the Program Asks of Residents
Homeward Pikes Peak runs Harbor House Recovery around a small set of firm expectations:
- Secure full-time employment or document another steady source of income.
- Attend weekly house meetings, recovery workshops, peer coaching and AA meetings.
- Meet regularly with an assigned case manager.
- Keep up household responsibilities on the shared campus.
- Volunteer in the community if receiving benefits instead of wages.
The monthly program fee is $650. That figure, combined with the employment requirement, sets Harbor House Recovery apart from an unstructured rooming arrangement: residents are expected to be working toward self-sufficiency from the start.
Who Harbor House Recovery Serves
The program is built for men who meet HUD's definition of chronic homelessness, meaning at least twelve continuous months without stable housing, or four separate episodes totaling a year over the previous three, alongside an active substance use disorder and a stated commitment to recovery. That combination means residents typically arrive with both a housing gap and an addiction to address at once, which the six-week intake period is designed to meet directly.
Recovery Housing in Colorado Springs and El Paso County
Colorado Springs is the seat of El Paso County and the hub for treatment providers, employers and transit across the Pikes Peak region, giving residents of a Colorado Springs sober house a wide base to draw on while rebuilding. Homeward Pikes Peak has worked in the city since 2002, and Harbor House Recovery is one of several sober homes it now runs on the same central campus, alongside a residence for women and a program for mothers with young children.
