Lifeline Connections - Women and Children's Recovery Residence 1 Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Lifeline Connections - Women and Children's Recovery Residence 1, in Vancouver, Washington, is a sober living home for mothers in recovery in Clark County. It holds Level 2 certification from the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences and is the first of three units the organization runs under this program name.

Housing for Mothers and Their Children

This residence lets a mother stay with her children while she works a recovery program, which removes one of the biggest barriers to sober housing for women with kids. Lifeline Connections' housing staff and a live-in house lead support the household, and the structure covers both the mother's recovery expectations and the practicalities of keeping children in the home.

What WAQRR Level 2 Certification Establishes

Level 2 certification through the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, means the house has committed to a published code of ethics, written fees and rules disclosed before move-in, and a complaint process outside the house itself. For a mother deciding where to bring her children, that record is one of the few things she can verify before she moves in.

Month-to-Month Housing Through Lifeline Connections

Like the organization's other recovery residences, this house runs on a non-refundable deposit and monthly rent, more like a lease than a fixed-length program. Vancouver's location as the seat of Clark County, directly across the Columbia River from Portland, gives residents access to pediatric care, schools, outpatient treatment and transit without leaving the city.

One of Three Women and Children's Units

Unit 1 shares its program with two sister units, Women and Children's Recovery Residence 2 and 3, both also Lifeline Connections addresses in Vancouver. A referral into the program is considered for whichever unit has space, and all three carry the same certification and staffing model. Referrals usually come through a clinician or directly through Lifeline Connections' housing department.
