Shalom House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Shalom House is a men's transitional recovery residence at 2100 North 13th Street in Kansas City, Kansas, in Wyandotte County. Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas operates the program at its Sanctuary of Hope campus, giving homeless and vulnerable men a stable place to live while they work toward permanent housing and self-sufficiency.

A Men's Transitional Home in Kansas City

Shalom House serves men only, offering a bed, meals and a structured daily routine to men who arrive with few resources of their own. The program runs on a 33-acre campus built in 1898 and renovated for its relaunch, a scale that lets it combine housing with on-site education and employment services under one roof.

A Twelve-Month Path to Stability

The program runs on a twelve-month timeline, long enough for a man to move from crisis to steady employment and, eventually, his own address. That length distinguishes Shalom House from an emergency shelter: the goal is lasting change in a man's circumstances, not a temporary bed for the night.

Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas in Wyandotte County

Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas has served the Kansas City, Kansas area for more than 30 years, and Shalom House itself relaunched in 2023 after the organization renovated the Sanctuary of Hope building for the program. Wyandotte County, whose seat is Kansas City, sits at the center of the Kansas side of the metro area, giving residents access to the region's courts, employers and social services without crossing the state line.

Recovery Support Built Into Long-Term Housing

A program built around education, employment and supportive services for men rebuilding stability addresses recovery in the broadest sense: a stable address, a daily structure and a path to self-sufficiency are the conditions recovery of any kind depends on. Kansas has no statewide certification standard for recovery residences, so a program's history and its parent organization are what a family evaluating Shalom House should look at first.
