About this Recovery Home
Grays Harbor 906 is a coed sober living home on West Heron Street in Aberdeen, Washington, in Grays Harbor County. Fresh Start Housing runs the property a few doors from its sister house at 900 West Heron Street, giving the operator two addresses on the same Aberdeen block.
A Coed Sober House on West Heron Street
West Heron Street runs through an established residential section of Aberdeen close to the Chehalis River and the city's downtown core, putting groceries, a pharmacy and Grays Harbor Transit's bus routes within walking distance.
Two Fresh Start Housing Addresses on One Block
Fresh Start Housing operates both 900 and 906 West Heron Street, which lets the organization move residents between the two houses without leaving the block or changing case managers. Both trace back to the organization Tim and John founded in 2012, built on the same standard: safe, affordable, alcohol and drug-free housing with weekly counseling.
What the Counseling Model Provides
Fresh Start Housing supplies weekly counseling and connects residents to outside resources including employment help, legal aid and alternate housing, while clinical treatment and prescribers remain with providers elsewhere in the community.
Grays Harbor County Recovery Housing
Aberdeen is the county seat and largest city in Grays Harbor County, home to the courts and most of the county's social services, which keeps this West Heron Street sober house within reach of the appointments residents need most.
Applying to Fresh Start Housing in Aberdeen
Applications for Grays Harbor 906 go through Fresh Start Housing. Prospective residents should ask about the weekly cost, house rules and counseling schedule, the same questions worth asking of its neighboring house on the same street.
