About Ark of Safety Center, Inc.

Ark of Safety Center, Inc. is a sober living operator in St. Louis, Missouri, providing recovery housing in the city of St. Louis. The organization runs a three-phase model it calls Out in the Storm, In the Boat and On Dry Land, moving a resident from initial assessment through skill-building toward independence.

A Christian-Based St. Louis Recovery Housing Provider

Ark of Safety Center pairs housing with Christian-based counseling, life skills training, financial planning and job training, including a lawn care program residents can work through as part of their reentry into steady employment. The organization frames its work around restoration and family reunification, with housing as one part of it.

A Three-Phase Recovery Housing Model

The organization's phases move a resident from one-on-one assessment through structured skill-building and into ongoing independent-living support, a framework built for someone who needs more than a bed to hold onto once they leave.

Job Training as Part of Recovery Housing

Ark of Safety Center's lawn care program gives residents a path toward steady income while they are still living in the organization's housing, tying employment directly to the recovery process instead of treating the two separately.

Serving the St. Louis Community

St. Louis is Missouri's largest metropolitan center, and Ark of Safety Center's location inside the city puts its housing near the outpatient providers, employers and public transit that its job training programs depend on.
