A Women's Sober House on Frankford Avenue

The residence houses women exclusively, on Frankford Avenue in Kensington, a corridor that carries the Market-Frankford elevated line and much of the neighborhood's commercial activity along with it.

One of Five Merakey Fresh Start Houses

This address is one of five Fresh Start recovery houses Merakey operates in Philadelphia, three of them further along the same avenue, making Frankford Avenue the organization's densest cluster in the city.

What Licensure Under Act 59 Establishes

Merakey holds a recovery house license under Act 59 of 2017 for this address, a voluntary standard in Pennsylvania that not every operator chooses to meet.

Getting Around from Frankford Avenue

The elevated line runs the length of the avenue, connecting residents to Center City and the rest of Kensington without a transfer, which matters before a job or an outpatient schedule allows for a car.

Choosing Among Merakey's Philadelphia Houses

A resident who needs a men's house instead, or a different address along the same corridor, is asking a question Merakey's own housing network can answer without starting over with a new organization.
