About this Recovery Home
Hope Street of Siouxland is a men's sober living home on Nebraska Street in Sioux City, Iowa, the seat of Woodbury County. It opened in June 2019, it is accredited by the National Sober Living Association, and it is open to men eighteen and older who want a substance-free household with support available around the clock.
A Men's Sober Living Home on Nebraska Street
Nebraska Street runs through the heart of Sioux City, which is the reason this address works for the men who use it. The house was created to serve people coming out of homelessness, addiction and mental illness in the greater Siouxland community, and most arrive with no car and no savings. A central location puts treatment providers, employers, meetings and public transportation inside walking or bus distance from day one. The home is fully furnished, with a shared kitchen, in-home laundry, outdoor grill access, cable and internet, and a fitness area.
National Accreditation for This Sioux City Recovery Residence
The house is accredited with the National Sober Living Association. Accreditation matters more than usual in Iowa, because the state has no NARR affiliate and publishes no roster of certified recovery residences. Certification intake runs through the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services under its own recovery housing protocol, and it is voluntary for providers not seeking state funds. Against that background, an outside body reviewing this house is a genuine data point for a family comparing addresses from out of town.
Around-the-Clock Support Inside the Sober House
A program director, a case manager and volunteer on-site house managers give residents twenty-four hour support. The work is concrete: connecting men to community resources, helping them access substance use treatment, and arranging medical, dental and mental health care. The stated focus is long-term recovery, employment, education and integration into the community, and the house has moved residents on to permanent housing while they stayed sober. The current house manager came in as a resident and has passed a year of continuous sobriety.
House Expectations at This Siouxland Sober House
Every resident agrees to the same terms:
- Male, eighteen or older, with a strong desire for recovery.
- Abstinence from alcohol and drugs, with frequent random drug testing.
- A recommended commitment of at least nine months.

- Attendance at AA or NA meetings.
- Gaining and keeping employment.

The nine-month recommendation tells a prospective resident what this house is for. It is built for men who intend to stay long enough for the work to hold.
Woodbury County Recovery Housing in the Siouxland Region
Sioux City is the county seat of Woodbury County and the service center for a tri-state region reaching into Nebraska and South Dakota. Hospitals, outpatient providers, the courthouse, Western Iowa Tech Community College and the largest employers in northwest Iowa all sit inside the city, and men leaving treatment in the surrounding rural counties routinely come here because nowhere closer has all of it. Recovery housing in this part of the state is scarce enough that a single accredited men's house carries real weight in a Siouxland search.
