Love Matters II Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Love Matters II is a sober living home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Milwaukee County, run by the same operator behind the original Love Matters house nearby.

A Second Milwaukee Sober Living Home Under One Name

Love Matters LLC operates two Milwaukee properties, and this one carries the "II" the operator uses to distinguish it from the first. Running a pair of houses under the same name gives an operator room to place someone with a preference for a different set of housemates without changing who they answer to if a problem comes up.

Recovery Housing in Milwaukee County

Milwaukee County holds the largest concentration of sober living homes in Wisconsin, and Love Matters II sits inside that supply alongside dozens of similarly modest, independently run houses. Its exact street is not published, and the operator handles placement directly.

What Registration With Wisconsin DHS Establishes

Wisconsin has no licensing or certification requirement for a sober living home, but the state keeps a voluntary recovery residence registry through the Department of Health Services under section 46.234 of the state statutes. A residence appearing on it means the operator has told the state, in writing, that the address houses people in recovery, which is a lighter standard than certification through the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing.

Applying to Love Matters II

Prospective residents apply through Love Matters LLC. Since the operator runs a second Milwaukee house under the same name, a conversation about fit, fees and rules with the operator is also a conversation about which of the two houses makes sense.
