Casa Joliska Foundation - Donny Boy House Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Casa Joliska Foundation - Donny Boy House is a certified men's sober living home in Lacey, Washington, part of Thurston County. Casa Joliska Foundation, a nonprofit recovery housing provider based in the Olympia area, operates the house alongside two other certified men's homes in the county.

A Certified Sober House in Lacey

The Donny Boy House is restricted to men, and that restriction is the organizing fact of daily life there: one set of house rules, one meeting schedule, and shared space that never has to accommodate a mixed household. Lacey's residential streets sit within a short drive of Olympia's downtown core, so residents are not isolated from the county's job market or its treatment providers.

What Certification Through WAQRR Means Here

The house holds certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences. Because WAQRR certification is voluntary statewide, a certified house has agreed to disclose its fees and rules in writing, follow a published code of ethics, and submit to a complaint process that sits outside the house, entirely by its own choice.

Part of a Mission Built Around Underserved Residents

Casa Joliska Foundation frames its housing around veterans, young adults aging out of foster care, people receiving SSI and LGBTQ+ residents, populations it says are too often overlooked by conventional housing. The Donny Boy House operates inside that same mission as a working part of the portfolio.

Medication-Assisted Recovery Is Accommodated

The foundation applies medically assisted treatment practices for recovery, so a resident of the Donny Boy House who is prescribed medication for opioid use disorder keeps that treatment in place alongside stable housing.

Lacey's Place in Thurston County Recovery Housing

Lacey sits inside the same service area as Olympia and Tumwater, giving the Donny Boy House access to Thurston County's courts, outpatient behavioral health providers and public transit without a resident needing a car on day one.
