Houses of Hope Transitional Living Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Houses of Hope Transitional Living is a men's recovery home at 1124 North Cotner Boulevard in Lincoln, Nebraska, in Lancaster County. It houses adult men who have completed primary substance use treatment and need additional support before returning to independent living.

A Men's Sober House on North Cotner Boulevard

North Cotner Boulevard runs through northeast Lincoln, near the University Place and Havelock neighborhoods, in a part of the city with its own commercial strips and StarTran bus service. The organization's administrative offices share the address, so staff are on site rather than across town. Lincoln is the state capital and the seat of Lancaster County, which concentrates public sector employment, the courts, the University of Nebraska and a large outpatient network inside one city.

What Residents of This Lincoln Recovery Home Commit To

Three things are required of everyone living here. Residents maintain abstinence. They obtain and hold employment. They take part in both individual and group counseling. The house is alcohol and drug free, and a multidisciplinary staff team works with residents on the skills independent living requires. Counseling is delivered by the same organization that provides the housing.

Where This Sits in Nebraska Sober Living

A halfway house sits earlier in the sequence than a three-quarter home. Entry requires completed primary treatment, and the program is built to carry a man through the stretch immediately after it, when the risk is highest and a stable address is hardest to find. Employment is a condition rather than a goal, which tells an applicant what the daily rhythm looks like from week one.

Funding and Accountability for Lancaster County Recovery Housing

Nebraska has no recovery residence certification, no registry and no state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. This program is funded in part through a federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant administered via Nebraska's Regions 2 and 5 and the state Division of Behavioral Health, with further state and Medicaid support. That funding carries contract conditions and reporting, which is a form of oversight most Nebraska sober houses do not have.
