About Archdiocese of Philadelphia

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is a Pennsylvania recovery housing operator serving women in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, through its Catholic Social Services division.

A Faith-Based Recovery Housing Operator in Philadelphia

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia operates recovery housing for women through Catholic Social Services, one of the city's largest faith-based social service providers. That scale gives the operator resources, from case management staff to established referral relationships, that a small standalone provider typically cannot match.

Catholic Social Services' Recovery Housing Division

The recovery housing program sits inside Catholic Social Services' Housing and Homeless Services Division, which runs multiple programs for women and families beyond addiction recovery. That structure means a resident's case can connect to broader housing and family support resources within the same organization.

What DDAP Recovery House Licensure Confirms

The operator holds a recovery house license from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017. Licensure requires an inspected facility and written policies on conduct, fees and relapse response, and it is voluntary in Pennsylvania.

A Long Institutional History in Recovery Housing

Catholic Social Services has operated under the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for decades, giving its recovery housing programs an institutional history and community standing that few operators in the city can claim.
