Hemingway House Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Hemingway House is a coed sober living home on North Emporia Avenue in Wichita, Kansas, in Sedgwick County.

A Coed Sober House on North Emporia Avenue

This sober house in Wichita houses men and women, with the household split into separate sleeping arrangements while sharing common areas and house meetings. North Emporia Avenue sits close to downtown Wichita, putting residents near the courthouse, social service offices and employers that a coed household in early recovery tends to rely on.

A Registered Nonprofit Recovery Residence

Hemingway House is registered as a nonprofit organization, a public record that anyone can check independently of anything the house itself publishes. That status means the organization files with the IRS and operates under a governance structure separate from any one individual, which is worth something in a state where nothing else certifies a recovery residence.

No State Certification in Kansas

Kansas has no NARR affiliate and no state registry for recovery residences, so nonprofit registration is the closest thing to a public record this house carries. The City of Wichita governs recovery housing through its own sober living homes and zoning policy, treating it as a residential use, not a licensed facility.

Serving Wichita and Sedgwick County

Wichita is the seat of Sedgwick County and the state's largest city, and Hemingway House sits inside the same service network that most of Kansas's recovery housing depends on: outpatient treatment, courts and entry-level employment concentrated in one place.

What to Ask Before Moving Into Hemingway House

Without a state disclosure requirement, a prospective resident should ask directly for the weekly fee, how the coed household is structured, whether a house manager lives on site, and what the relapse and discharge policy is. A nonprofit's public filings establish that it exists and is accountable; they do not answer those four questions on their own.
