About this Recovery Home

FH1 Men's Recovery Home is a men's sober living home in Maple Valley, Washington, in King County. It is operated by Wheeler Housing Opportunity, a nonprofit that runs a small cluster of certified recovery residences along WA-169 south of Seattle.

A Men's Sober House Along WA-169

This sober house in Maple Valley serves men in recovery, and it is one of five properties Wheeler Housing Opportunity keeps in the same corridor. Grouping several small households along one stretch of road lets the nonprofit share staff time and transportation between houses without asking residents to relocate across the county when their needs change. Maple Valley sits along WA-169 between Renton and Enumclaw, a route that carries most of the area's day-to-day traffic toward jobs and services in King County.

What WAQRR Certification Establishes

Certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences commits FH1 to a published code of ethics, written fees and house rules disclosed before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and outside review of complaints. Washington does not require this certification, so a house that carries it has chosen to operate inside that accountability structure instead of avoiding it.

Wheeler Housing Opportunity as a Sober Living Operator

Wheeler Housing Opportunity is a nonprofit built around affordable, sober housing paired with medically assisted treatment practices for people rebuilding after substance use. Its model leans on structure: regular testing, required recovery meetings, and a curfew, the same expectations the organization applies at each of its properties.

Recovery Housing in King County

Maple Valley is a King County city that draws residents needing distance from a former neighborhood without leaving the Seattle metro's job market and transit network out of reach. A man placed at FH1 has four sister properties nearby if a different set of housemates becomes the better fit later.
