Kennedy's Place 3 Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Kennedy's Place 3 is a men's sober living home on North 1st Street in Yakima, Washington, in Yakima County, part of a group of three numbered Kennedy's Place houses on that street.

A Men's Sober Living Home in Downtown Yakima

Men in recovery live at Kennedy's Place 3, one of three Kennedy's Place houses clustered on North 1st Street. Keeping the numbering consistent across the three lets the operator run them as one network instead of isolated addresses, so a resident's caseworker or referring facility can track him across houses without confusion. North 1st Street runs through downtown Yakima, close to the services and courts residents most often need.

What WAQRR Certification Establishes

The Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences certifies Kennedy's Place 3 to a code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and outside complaint review, a voluntary standard in this state.

Coaching and Goal-Setting Alongside Housing

Kennedy's Place layers Certified Recovery and Spiritual Coaches and SMART goals programming on top of its housing, and it accepts vouchers tied to Department of Corrections and treatment-facility referrals. That combination is aimed squarely at reentry, giving a resident structure beyond a place to sleep.

Recovery Housing in Yakima County

As the seat of Yakima County, Yakima concentrates the courts, treatment providers and job opportunities that residents transitioning out of incarceration or treatment need close at hand, which is why Kennedy's Place built three of its houses on the same downtown block.

Applying to Kennedy's Place 3

Kennedy's Place manages applications for all three North 1st Street houses. Worth asking: which house currently has space, whether a referral voucher covers the placement, and what the coaching and goal-setting program involves week to week.
