A Women's Sober House in Tacoma

Liya's House serves women in recovery, and keeping the household single-gender simplifies the basics: house meetings, shared bathrooms and the accountability that comes from living with people working through the same early months. Tacoma's Pacific Avenue corridor runs through much of the city's residential and commercial core, putting daily errands and appointments within a short trip regardless of which stretch of the street a resident calls home.

What Certification Establishes for This Recovery Residence

Washington's recovery residences are certified through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences, the state's NARR affiliate. Certification commits a house to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and outside complaint review. A nonprofit operator carrying that certification has put its housing on record in a way a private landlord has not.

Recovery Housing in Pierce County

Tacoma is Pierce County's largest city and its center for outpatient treatment, courts and public transit. That concentration matters for a resident rebuilding a routine: meetings, a job and a caseworker are all reachable without a car, and Pierce Transit's network covers most of the corridors a resident actually uses.

Applying to Liya's House in Tacoma

Applications go through Liya's House Foundation directly. Certification obliges the foundation to answer, in writing, what the program fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, how a relapse is handled, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted before anyone signs on.
