Center Avenue

About Center Avenue

Center Avenue is a sober living operator running recovery homes across Greensburg and New Kensington, Pennsylvania, in Westmoreland County.

A Westmoreland County Recovery Housing Provider

Center Avenue owns and manages houses spread across two of Westmoreland County's population centers. It functions as a housing operator, supplying addresses and house structure, while residents arrange their own outpatient treatment, sponsors and meetings in the surrounding community.

Four Houses in Two Westmoreland County Towns

• 847 Highland Avenue, Greensburg, for men.
• 427 Center Avenue, Greensburg, for men.
• 209 North Street, New Kensington, for women.
• 1400 Taylor Avenue, New Kensington, for men.

Two houses sit in Greensburg, the county seat, and two sit roughly fifteen miles north in New Kensington along the Allegheny River.

Men's and Women's Housing Kept Separate

Three of the four houses serve men and one, on North Street in New Kensington, serves women. Men apply to Highland Avenue, Center Avenue or Taylor Avenue, so house meetings, bathrooms and bedrooms stay single-gender at every address.

Licensed Under Pennsylvania's Act 59

DDAP licensure is voluntary in Pennsylvania, and Center Avenue has carried it at multiple addresses, including its Highland Avenue, North Street and Taylor Avenue houses. That record is a fact a prospective resident can check about the operator before applying.

Serving the Pittsburgh Metro's Eastern Edge

Greensburg and New Kensington both sit within Westmoreland County's reach into the greater Pittsburgh metro area, connected by Route 30 and Route 366 respectively. That geography gives Center Avenue's residents access to Pittsburgh's larger job market and treatment infrastructure without living inside the city itself.

One Operator, Four Addresses

Center Avenue takes applications for all four houses directly. A resident who needs to move between houses, whether for a change of structure or simply a fresh start, works with an operator that already has the history on file.
