Gibson Foundation - 3472 Frankford Avenue Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Gibson Foundation – 3472 Frankford Avenue is a sober house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At 3472 Frankford Avenue, Gibson Foundation runs a men's sober living home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, along the Frankford Avenue corridor.

A Men's Sober House on Frankford Avenue

This house sits directly on Frankford Avenue, the commercial spine of the neighborhood, and serves men in recovery. Its position on the avenue puts a resident within walking distance of the Market-Frankford Line and the corridor's pharmacies, corner stores and bus connections, a different footing than the operator's Womrath Street house a few blocks off the main road.

Licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs

The house holds a state license as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017. Gibson Foundation carries the same license on each of its three Philadelphia properties, and because licensure in Pennsylvania is voluntary, that consistency across addresses reflects a deliberate choice.

Northeast Philadelphia's Recovery Housing Corridor

Frankford Avenue runs through one of Northeast Philadelphia's older, denser neighborhoods, and recovery housing has clustered here alongside outpatient clinics and behavioral health providers that serve the surrounding zip codes. Philadelphia's Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services coordinates recovery house oversight citywide, and Frankford is one of the neighborhoods where that program is most active.

A Nonprofit Operator in Philadelphia

Gibson Foundation operates as a nonprofit, running housing as one part of a broader set of community services in the city. That structure typically means fees are set to cover operating costs, though the specific figure for this house is not published.

Applying to This Frankford Avenue House

Applications go through Gibson Foundation directly. A prospective resident should ask whether a bed is open at this location or one of the organization's other two Philadelphia houses, and what documentation intake requires.
