Gibson Foundation - Womrath Street Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Gibson Foundation – Womrath Street is a sober house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Gibson Foundation's house on Womrath Street is a men's sober living home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the city's Frankford section.

A Men's Recovery Home on Womrath Street

The house serves men in recovery in Philadelphia's Frankford neighborhood, one of three Gibson Foundation properties in the same section of the city. Frankford is a dense, transit-served part of Northeast Philadelphia, and the Womrath Street address sits inside its residential blocks, a few streets off the commercial avenue itself.

Gibson Foundation, a Philadelphia Nonprofit

Gibson Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides recovery housing and related support in Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs licenses this house as a recovery house under Act 59 of 2017, a license the organization holds on all three of its Philadelphia properties.

Frankford and Philadelphia's Recovery Housing Network

Frankford sits along Frankford Avenue and the Market-Frankford Line, giving residents direct SEPTA access into Center City and out toward the Northeast. Philadelphia runs one of the state's largest concentrations of both licensed and unlicensed recovery housing, and the city's Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services coordinates a recovery house initiative citywide that Frankford properties like this one operate alongside.

What Pennsylvania Licensure Does and Does Not Cover

A DDAP license confirms the state reviewed the house under Act 59. It is separate from certification through the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's NARR affiliate, which an operator would state directly if it applied to a specific address. Licensure does not by itself describe house rules, staffing or fees.

Reaching Gibson Foundation

Gibson Foundation manages intake for its Frankford-area houses as a single organization. Anyone applying should confirm which of its three Philadelphia properties has an opening and ask directly about house expectations, since none of that is published.
