Hillcrest Transitional Housing Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Hillcrest Transitional Housing is a coed transitional recovery home in Kansas City, Kansas, in Wyandotte County, requiring sobriety from every resident it houses.

Transitional Housing on Minnesota Avenue

Hillcrest provides furnished apartments at no cost to residents for up to two years, with rent and utilities covered while people rebuild stability after homelessness. Sobriety is a condition of staying, alongside a structured set of goals the organization calls its BEEP framework: budgeting, education, employment and personal development.

Structure and Case Management

Residents meet regularly with case managers, attend weekly life skills classes, and are expected to secure part-time employment and start building savings during their stay. The organization primarily serves unaccompanied young adults along with adults and families experiencing homelessness, and substance-free living applies to everyone in the program.

Serving the Kansas City, Kansas Metro Area

Kansas City, Kansas is the seat of Wyandotte County and sits across the state line from Kansas City, Missouri, and Minnesota Avenue runs through one of the city's central corridors. Hillcrest's Kansas City, Kansas site is part of a regional program that also operates housing in Missouri, giving residents access to services across the metro area without losing their spot in the program.

Applying to Hillcrest's Housing Program

Applications go through Hillcrest's regional intake process instead of to a single address, and prospective residents should ask about current availability, the length of stay typically approved, and how the BEEP goals translate into a plan for moving to permanent housing after the program ends.
