About this Sober House
Progress Valley Inc is a sober living program on East 80th Street in Bloomington, Minnesota, in Hennepin County. It operates as long-term recovery housing attached to an established Minnesota chemical dependency treatment provider, with separate housing for men and women.
Long-Term Sober Living in Bloomington
Progress Valley's sober housing gives residents shared units of one to three bedrooms, and it runs as long-term housing meant to last well past a short transitional stay. Onsite management coordinates the household, and clinical support is available when a resident needs it, layered on top of daily structure.
Separate Housing for Men and Women
The program keeps men's and women's housing separate, so residents share a household with peers of the same gender while still drawing on the same organization's staff and clinical resources. That split is standard practice in Minnesota sober housing and keeps house rules and shared space unambiguous.
What the Program Expects at Move-In
Progress Valley asks residents to be at least 18, to arrive with a minimum of four weeks of sobriety already established, and to commit to a four-month minimum lease. Applicants are expected to show they can cover housing costs and to engage actively with the recovery community around them, and the program asks that applications go in at least two weeks before an intended move-in date.
Recovery Housing in Hennepin County
Bloomington sits in Hennepin County, whose seat is Minneapolis, and the city itself is a major employment and retail hub in the southern Twin Cities metro. That gives residents of this sober living program a wide range of jobs and outpatient services within a short drive, without requiring a move into the urban core.
Applying to Progress Valley's Sober Housing Program
Prospective residents reach the program through Progress Valley's sober housing staff, who review needs and coordinate move-in. Because the program is not MASH-certified, admission and house expectations run through the organization's own intake process.
Housed separately, men and women work closely with staff, peers, and seasoned sponsors to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals learn and put into practice the sober living skills necessary for making a successful transition to independent living. Tenants participate in community-related sober activities while working, volunteering, or continuing their educations
