Hanuman House - Milwaukee Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Hanuman House is a sober living home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County, operated by Hanuman House. It sits in the 53207 ZIP code on the city's south side, and its street is not published, as is the case with every Wisconsin recovery residence; applicants confirm the address directly with the operator.

A Sober House on Milwaukee's South Side

The 53207 ZIP code covers Bay View and the surrounding south side neighborhoods, an area with its own commercial strip, bus lines into downtown, and a lakefront a short walk away. For a resident, that mix of walkable amenities and transit access is usually more relevant than anything else about an address.

Certification and Registration for Wisconsin Recovery Homes

Wisconsin has no license specific to sober living. Certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing (WASH) is voluntary and commits a house to a written code of ethics and outside complaint review. The state Department of Health Services separately keeps a self-attested recovery residence registry. A house missing from either list has not necessarily done anything wrong.

Recovery Housing on Milwaukee's South Side

The south side is one of several pockets of recovery housing scattered across Milwaukee County, distinct from the larger concentration on the north side. A resident placed here is usually looking at a different set of outpatient providers and a different bus network than someone housed further north.

What to Ask Before Moving In

Confirm the weekly fee and what it includes, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, and whether residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted.
