A Coed Recovery Home in Richland

Elijah Family Homes - Goethals House 1 houses men and women together under one roof, an arrangement that suits the family-centered model Elijah Family Homes runs: parents in recovery often need housing that does not force a separation from a partner or co-parent while they stabilize. Richland sits inside the Tri-Cities corridor, giving residents access to Benton and Franklin County services without a long commute.

What WAQRR Level 2 Certification Establishes

Elijah Family Homes - Goethals House 1 holds Level 2 certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences, the state's NARR affiliate. Level 2 describes peer-managed housing with structured expectations and clinical care delivered by outside providers off site. Certification is voluntary in Washington, so the designation reflects a choice by Elijah Family Homes to publish its fees and rules, follow a code of ethics, and accept outside complaint review.

Part of a 20-Year Tri-Cities Housing Program

Elijah Family Homes built the Transition to Success program around long-term case management addressing homelessness, addiction recovery and financial independence, and Elijah Family Homes - Goethals House 1 operates inside that framework as a working part of the portfolio. The organization reports supporting dozens of families in transitional housing across Benton and Franklin Counties each year.

Recovery Housing in Benton County

Richland gives residents at Elijah Family Homes - Goethals House 1 a base inside the Tri-Cities' shared job market, schools and outpatient treatment network, which matters most for a program built specifically around families.
