About this Recovery House
Amanda's House is a certified women's sober living home in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the seat of Brown County. Mandolin Foundation LLC operates the home, which is certified through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing.
A Sober House for Women and Their Children
Amanda's House houses women in recovery together with their children, a combination that most sober living programs in Wisconsin do not offer. Keeping mothers and children under one roof means a woman does not have to choose between entering recovery and staying with her kids, which is often the barrier that keeps a parent out of treatment altogether.
What WASH Certification Establishes Here
Certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing commits Amanda's House to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and outside review of any complaint. For a resident weighing whether to bring her children into a new living situation, that record answers questions a phone call alone would not.
The Only Program of Its Kind in the Region
Mandolin Foundation describes Amanda's House as the only program in the region where mothers can live with their children while in recovery, and the house has supported 73 families over its first four years. That track record matters in a state where most recovery housing, including WASH's own certified list, is built around single adults.
A Renovated 1918 Property Growing to Meet Demand
The house occupies a property built in 1918 and renovated for this use, and Mandolin Foundation is running a capital campaign to add six more bedrooms as demand for family-inclusive recovery housing outpaces its current capacity. Expansion of a program this specific does not happen quickly, and the campaign signals how much local demand already exceeds what one house can hold.
Recovery Housing in Green Bay and Brown County
Green Bay is the seat of Brown County and the region's largest city, with pediatric care, family services, outpatient behavioral health providers and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College all inside city limits. For a mother bringing children into recovery housing, that concentration of family-facing services in one city is as important as the housing itself.
Reaching Amanda's House in Green Bay
Applications go directly to Mandolin Foundation. Given the house's focus on mothers and children, the specific questions worth asking are about childcare logistics during programming hours, school enrollment support, and how the waitlist works given the capital campaign underway to add capacity.
