Expo Safe (sisterhood Alliance For Freedom & Equal Recovery House

About this Recovery House

EXPO SAFE (Sisterhood Alliance for Freedom and Equality) is a sober living home for women in Madison, Wisconsin, in Dane County, run by EXPO Wisconsin as part of its S.A.F.E. Housing Network.

Housing for Formerly Incarcerated Women

EXPO SAFE, short for Sisterhood Alliance for Freedom and Equality, supports women rebuilding their lives after incarceration, many of whom are also in recovery from substance use. The house connects housing stability directly to reentry, treating the two as one problem instead of separate ones.

Part of EXPO Wisconsin's Reentry Network

EXPO Wisconsin, formally Ex-Incarcerated People Organizing, runs reentry support, workforce development, peer support and restorative justice programs alongside its housing work. Women at EXPO SAFE are connected to that full network, not just a lease.

A Nonprofit Recovery Housing Provider

EXPO Wisconsin operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means its housing work sits inside a broader mission of ending mass incarceration and dismantling structural discrimination, funded and governed accordingly instead of run as a private rental business.

Recovery Housing in Dane County

Madison is the state capital and the seat of Dane County, holding the courts, state offices and outpatient providers that matter most to a woman navigating both reentry and recovery at once. Metro Transit's bus network connects the city's neighborhoods to those services.

What Wisconsin Sober Living Certification Would Establish

EXPO SAFE does not currently appear on the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing's certified list. Certification is voluntary in Wisconsin, and a reentry-focused nonprofit housing program is a different category of operation than certification was built around, which is a more likely explanation for its absence than any deficiency in how the house is run.
