About this Recovery House
JC's Recovery House is a coed, faith-based sober living community on Sherman Street in Hollywood, Florida, in Broward County. It is run by JC's Recovery House of the Lord, and the Christian framing is not decoration: a chapel and a prayer garden sit on the property, and a recovery Bible study runs on Wednesday nights.
A Faith-Based Sober Living Community in Hollywood
The house is organized around the idea that lasting change is spiritual as well as behavioral, and its program is built to match. Structure, fellowship and healing across the physical, mental and spiritual are how the operator describes the model. Residents attend a daily recovery meeting held on site, and the weekly Bible study is open to everyone in the household. For someone whose recovery is already anchored in faith, that alignment removes a gap between what happens at church and what happens at home. For someone it does not suit, this is the wrong house, and the operator does not hide the emphasis.
What the Property Offers Residents of This Broward County Recovery Home
The residence sits near the beach and is laid out for communal life. A pool area, basketball courts, a barbecue area, a prayer garden, a chapel and shared living and kitchen space give residents places to be together outside of meetings, which is most of what builds the fellowship the program depends on.
Hollywood Recovery Housing Between Fort Lauderdale and Miami
Hollywood sits in southern Broward County, between Fort Lauderdale, the county seat, and the Miami-Dade line. Sherman Street runs through the older residential grid just west of Dixie Highway and the Florida East Coast rail corridor, close to downtown Hollywood and the Hollywood Tri-Rail station. That station is the practical fact: Tri-Rail runs north to West Palm Beach and south into Miami-Dade, and Broward County Transit covers Hollywood Boulevard, US-1 and State Road 7. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, the port and the hospitality corridor along the beach absorb a large volume of entry-level hiring within a few miles of the house.
How Florida Certifies a Sober Living Home
Certification of recovery residences in Florida runs through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, the only credentialing entity the Department of Children and Families has approved. Participation is voluntary. A certified residence commits to a code of ethics, to putting fees and house rules in writing before anyone moves in, to a written relapse and discharge policy and to a complaint process that leaves the house. The operator has written publicly about the certification process. Ask directly about the current status of this address.
Applying to This Coed Recovery Residence
Applications go through the operator. Ask what the weekly fee covers, what is billed separately and what the deposit terms are. Ask how bedrooms are assigned in a coed house, whether a house manager lives on site, what the curfew is and how testing is scheduled. Ask which parts of the faith program are required and which are optional, because that answer determines whether this house fits.
