Market Street Mission Recovery Residence Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Market Street Mission Recovery Residence is a men's sober living home in Morristown, New Jersey, the seat of Morris County, licensed as a Class F Cooperative Sober Living Residence and operated by Market Street Mission. The house sits on Lincoln Street, separate from the Mission's main building on Market Street downtown.

A Men's Sober House Tied to a Long-Running Mission

Market Street Mission has served Morristown since 1889, beginning with food and shelter for people in crisis before expanding into longer-term work on addiction and homelessness. The Lincoln Street house is part of that continuum: a licensed cooperative sober living residence for men who have moved past the Mission's initial emergency services and need a stable address while they rebuild.

The Life Change Recovery Program

Men at this stage typically come through the Mission's Life Change Recovery Program, a free residential program built around twelve-step work, individual and group counseling, academic support and job training. The Lincoln Street house extends that structure into ordinary housing, giving graduates somewhere to live while they hold a job and keep up with recovery meetings.

What a Class F License Confirms

New Jersey requires a Class F license from the Department of Community Affairs under N.J.A.C. 5:27 before anyone can operate a cooperative sober living residence, and this Lincoln Street house holds that license separately from the Mission's other facilities. New Jersey has no statewide certification program for recovery housing, so the license is the credential that applies here.

A Morris County Institution

Morristown is both the Morris County seat and the historic center of a mission with more than a century of standing in the community, and that longevity carries weight for a resident choosing where to land after treatment. The Lincoln Street house sits within reach of downtown Morristown's courts, social services and the NJ Transit rail line into Newark and New York.

Applying Through Market Street Mission

Access to the Lincoln Street house runs through Market Street Mission's own program. New Jersey's licensing requirements for a residence like this one are covered in Vanderburgh House's guide to sober living licensing in New Jersey.
