East End Cooperative Ministry

About East End Cooperative Ministry

East End Cooperative Ministry is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania nonprofit running a licensed 150-day recovery house for men and women from its Station Street location in the city's East End.

An East End Pittsburgh Social Services Nonprofit

East End Cooperative Ministry operates as a multi-service nonprofit, and recovery housing is one program among several the organization runs, alongside emergency shelter and housing and employment services. That breadth means the recovery house is backed by an organization with an established footprint in the neighborhood, not a standalone startup.

A Coed, Structured Recovery Program

The organization's recovery house serves adult men and women together on a 150-day program built around peer support, case management and employment assistance, with most residents arriving through referrals from treatment providers, probation or other justice-related services.

Licensed Under Act 59

The recovery house carries a license from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, a voluntary designation that subjects the property to state inspection and a published operating standard.

Working From East Liberty

East End Cooperative Ministry's East Liberty location sits at the center of Pittsburgh's East End, with transit, retail and employers within walking distance, an advantage the organization's employment-focused programming depends on directly.

Reaching East End Cooperative Ministry

Referrals into the recovery house typically come through a treatment provider, probation office or justice-related service, though direct inquiries can go to the organization as well. Worth asking about program length, what happens if the 150 days ends before permanent housing is secured, and how the referral process works.
