A Men's Sober House on West King Street

West King Street runs through downtown York, putting this house closer to the city center than most of Herkey Houses' other addresses. That location keeps courts, outpatient appointments and entry-level jobs within walking distance for residents who have not yet gotten a car back.

A Veteran-Founded Recovery Housing Company

Herkey Houses was co-founded by Robert Ramos, who served in the United States Marine Corps from 2013 to 2018 before losing friends, fellow Marines and family to addiction. He and his cousin Peter Fitzgerald built the company on that experience, and Fitzgerald handles most of the direct admissions work for houses like this one.

What a DDAP License Confirms

Licensure in Pennsylvania is voluntary, so a licensed house has chosen to be inspected by the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs and to answer to it afterward. That is the fact worth checking before signing anything, and it is separate from any claim a house makes about itself on its own website.
