About this Recovery House
F5 Project Recovery Housing – Bismarck is a men's sober living home in Bismarck, North Dakota, the seat of Burleigh County and the state capital. It is run by F5 Project, a Fargo-founded nonprofit that now operates in eight North Dakota cities, and it takes men leaving incarceration, treatment or both. The monthly program fee is $695. The street address is not published, and placement is arranged through the operator.
A Men's Sober House in the State Capital
The Bismarck operation is men only, which settles the household questions before anyone moves in and concentrates the house on one population's obligations: probation appointments, restitution, job interviews with a record, and the first ninety days of a routine. Men arriving from custody in south-central North Dakota tend to be released into a city where they know nobody, and a structured house with staff who have been through the same system is a different starting point than a motel or a couch.
Twelve Weeks of Rent Through a State Recovery Housing Program
F5 Project is a participating provider in the Recovery Housing Assistance Program, run by the Behavioral Health Division of North Dakota Health and Human Services. For an eligible resident, RHAP covers up to twelve weeks of living expenses at a participating home. That is the whole answer to the question that stops most people at the door, which is how to pay for month one when you are leaving custody with a release check and a bag. A provider appears on the state's roster because it accepts that funding and works inside the program's rules, so the roster itself tells a prospective resident something concrete about how the house handles money. North Dakota Health and Human Services publishes the participating provider list.
The Monthly Fee at This Bismarck Recovery Home
F5 Project publishes a program fee of $695 per month covering housing, utilities, WiFi, peer support and program services. One number, one due date, no separate utility accounts to open in a name that may not survive a credit check. For a man whose last address was a facility, that simplicity is doing more work than the dollar figure suggests.
Employment Support Attached to the Sober Living Program
The organization runs employment assistance alongside its housing, and it employs people with lived experience in the justice and recovery systems. A resident is therefore looking for work with help from an organization that already knows which Bismarck employers hire people with felony records, which is the specific piece of local knowledge that decides how long the search takes.
Recovery Housing in Bismarck and Mandan
Bismarck sits on the east bank of the Missouri River and faces Mandan in Morton County. The two cities share a labor market, a bus system and a set of outpatient providers, so a resident here has a metro-scale footprint by North Dakota standards. State government, the district court, Bismarck State College, the region's hospitals and the largest concentration of public-sector and service employment in central North Dakota all fall inside it. Burleigh County recovery housing is limited, and a men's house with state funding behind it is one of the few doors that opens without money up front.
