Kims Helping Hands - Milwaukee Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Kims Helping Hands operates a recovery residence in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County.

A Small Recovery Residence in Milwaukee

Kims Helping Hands runs on the same scale as most of Milwaukee's independent recovery housing: a single property, one operator, and a household small enough that residents and staff know each other by name. That scale is typical of the city's smaller adult-family-home style operators.

Milwaukee County's Recovery Housing Supply

Milwaukee County holds well over a third of the recovery residences registered anywhere in Wisconsin, and Kims Helping Hands sits inside that supply. Its address is not published, and anyone interested should reach out to the operator directly.

Registration Versus Certification in Wisconsin

Wisconsin has no licensing requirement for a sober living home. A residence can appear on the state's voluntary Department of Health Services registry, which records that the operator self-attested the address houses people in recovery, or it can be certified through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing, the state's only certification body and a stricter standard involving a published code of ethics. The two are not the same thing, and a home appearing on one list and not the other has not necessarily done anything wrong.

Reaching Kims Helping Hands

Applications go directly through the operator, who can confirm the fee, house rules and whether the home is currently accepting residents.
