About this Recovery House
ST. Philippine Home is a women's sober living home on Goodfellow Boulevard in St. Louis, Missouri, an independent city that functions as its own county. It is operated by Queen of Peace Center, a St. Louis nonprofit that has built its work around family-centered care for women recovering from substance use and trauma.
A Women's Sober House on Goodfellow Boulevard
This sober house serves women only, which keeps house meetings, shared space and daily routines built around one population. Goodfellow Boulevard runs through the city's north side, connecting residents to the Fairground Park neighborhood and the broader Wells-Goodfellow corridor, and Metro bus lines along the boulevard reach downtown and the Delmar corridor without requiring a car.
Housing as One Piece of Family-Centered Care
Queen of Peace Center organizes its work around three pillars: behavioral healthcare, stable housing, and family support services it calls its Nurturing Networks. ST. Philippine Home sits inside the housing pillar, which spans transitional, supportive and permanent options woven into one continuum. A resident arriving from residential treatment or from crisis housing elsewhere in the city can move through that continuum without changing case managers or losing the relationships built along the way.
A St. Louis Nonprofit Built Around Women and Families
Queen of Peace Center has spent decades working specifically with women, many of them mothers, which shapes what a house under its name actually offers. Childcare and family programming through Nurturing Networks mean a resident does not have to choose between her recovery and her relationship with her children, an obstacle that keeps many women out of treatment altogether.
Recovery Housing in the City of St. Louis
St. Louis operates as its own independent city, and its size means a resident here has the full range of city services and outpatient providers within reach. Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Saint Louis University and a dense MetroLink and bus network all sit within a short ride, which matters for anyone rebuilding a schedule of appointments, work and meetings after treatment.
Queen of Peace Center's Recovery Homes in St. Louis
ST. Philippine Home is one of two Queen of Peace Center residences in this review: Our Lady of Perpetual Help serves women on Linton Avenue elsewhere in the city. Both operate under the same organization, so a resident whose needs change can raise it with staff who already know her instead of starting over with an unfamiliar agency.
