A Women's Sober House on Kirkpatrick Avenue

This sober house in Braddock serves women in recovery, and the single-gender rule keeps house meetings, common space and accountability focused on one population. Kirkpatrick Avenue runs through one of Braddock's residential blocks, not far from the borough's business district along Braddock Avenue, and Pittsburgh Regional Transit connects the borough to the rest of the Mon Valley and to Pittsburgh itself.

Licensed Recovery Housing Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

Pennsylvania licensure is voluntary, and a house that carries a current Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs license has agreed to inspection and oversight that unlicensed houses in the same city do not take on. Pennsylvania's public locator lists licensed addresses statewide, including this one.

Braddock and the Mon Valley in Allegheny County

Braddock sits along the Monongahela River in Allegheny County, a former steel town rebuilding its housing stock and small business district. It sits close enough to Pittsburgh to reach the city's hospitals, courts and treatment providers while keeping the pace of daily life well below the city's own.

What to Expect at Za'kiyah House

Because the program runs as a nonprofit, applicants can expect a structured intake process built around a mission rather than a landlord's bottom line. Ask directly about the weekly fee, house rules, whether a house manager lives on site, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is supported.
