A Men's Sober House Named in Memory of Billy Beadle
Orange Grove Foundation named the house for William "Billy" Arthur Beadle, and it runs as a five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home where residents typically share rooms, a setup the foundation uses deliberately to keep housing affordable and to build accountability between roommates. The house is furnished, with modern appliances, WiFi, and streaming service already in place.
What the Program Requires
Orange Grove Foundation asks residents at Billy's Blue House for thirty days of prior sobriety, a drug-free commitment, and participation in a recovery plan that includes meetings and therapy. The program runs at $250 a week or $1,000 a month, plus a one-time, nonrefundable $300 intake fee, with utilities, internet, and laundry included in that cost.
What WAQRR Level 2 Certification Establishes
Certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences commits Billy's Blue House to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and an outside complaint process, on top of the terms the foundation already publishes on its own site.
