Redemption House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Redemption House is a women's sober living home on East Wayne Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in Allen County. It is operated by Redemption House Ministry Inc, a faith-based transitional living program that works closely with the local court system.

A Women's Sober House on East Wayne Street

Redemption House serves women only, and many residents arrive through a court referral. East Wayne Street sits within Fort Wayne's core, close to the same courts, employers and social service offices that a woman rebuilding her life after incarceration or addiction is likely to need.

A Faith-Based Transitional Living Model

The house runs on an eight-to-twelve-month residency built around a Christian community framework. Residents work toward job skills, address the addiction that brought them into the program, and work to repair relationships with family, with staff and other residents forming what the organization describes as a family environment.

Structure Built Around Court Referrals

A meaningful share of the women living at Redemption House arrive as an alternative to jail, which shapes daily structure around accountability from the start. The house works alongside the courts throughout a resident's stay, not only at intake, so a probation officer or case manager stays in the loop as the woman moves through the program.

Recovery Housing in Allen County

Fort Wayne is the seat of Allen County and the largest city in Northeast Indiana, and Redemption House sits inside a city with the courts, treatment providers and employers that a transitional program depends on. Women completing the program can move directly into the same city's job market and housing stock.

Support Through Redemption House Ministry

Redemption House Ministry Inc backs the house with a network of local churches, businesses and individual donors, along with an active alumni network for women who have completed the program. That continued connection is part of what the organization points to as distinguishing a longer transitional stay from a short-term shelter placement.
