Kennedy's Place 2 Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Kennedy's Place 2 is a men's sober living home on North 1st Street in Yakima, Washington, in Yakima County, one of three Kennedy's Place houses on that block.

A Men's Sober House on North 1st Street

Kennedy's Place 2 serves men in recovery, part of a cluster of three numbered Kennedy's Place houses on North 1st Street in Yakima. Numbering its houses is how the operator keeps three separate households distinct while running them within walking distance of each other, so a resident can be moved between the three without leaving the block he already knows. North 1st Street sits in the heart of downtown Yakima, putting services and transit within easy reach.

What WAQRR Certification Establishes

Certification by the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences commits Kennedy's Place 2 to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and house rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and outside review of complaints. Washington leaves this certification voluntary, and Kennedy's Place has sought it for the house anyway.

Housing Tied to Reentry Support

Kennedy's Place accepts voucher-supported placements from the Department of Corrections and treatment facilities, and pairs housing with coaching from Certified Recovery and Spiritual Coaches and SMART goals programming. A man moving into Kennedy's Place 2 through one of those referral paths brings that support with him instead of starting a new intake elsewhere.

Recovery Housing in Yakima County

Yakima is the county seat and the commercial center of Yakima County, giving residents of Kennedy's Place 2 access to courts, outpatient providers and entry-level employment without leaving the city. That concentration of services is a large part of why Kennedy's Place has built its Yakima footprint around North 1st Street instead of scattering it across the county.
