Women Walking in Victory Headquarters Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Women Walking in Victory Headquarters is a women's recovery residence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia County. It is the address on record for Women Walking in Victory, a Philadelphia nonprofit organized to break the cycle of homelessness through affordable housing.

A Women's Recovery Residence in North Philadelphia

The organization behind this address serves women working through homelessness, substance use recovery and re-entry, and North 29th Street sits inside one of the city's highest-need neighborhoods for exactly those services. Being embedded in that neighborhood keeps a resident close to the outpatient providers, courts and community organizations that make up North Philadelphia's recovery infrastructure.

A Registered Nonprofit Behind the Housing

Women Walking in Victory is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt since 2020, filed under the federal category for housing and homeless shelter services. That status requires an annual public tax filing, a real record a family or referring case manager can check on an organization that might otherwise be easy to confuse with an unregistered operator.

What Pennsylvania Recovery Housing Certification Establishes

Beyond nonprofit registration, Pennsylvania recovery residences can separately seek certification through the Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification requires a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint process. This guide to certifying a Pennsylvania recovery residence covers what that takes.

Recovery Housing in North Philadelphia

North Philadelphia carries one of the city's highest concentrations of both substance use treatment and homelessness services, which is why organizations like Women Walking in Victory root their housing work here rather than in a less-served part of the city. Broad Street and the SEPTA lines that cross it put jobs, meetings and appointments within reach without a car.

Reaching Women Walking in Victory in Philadelphia

Referrals and applications go through the organization directly. A prospective resident or case manager should ask what the intake process requires, how long a stay typically runs, and what support continues after someone moves on from the address.
