Hanna House Foundation

About Hanna House Foundation

Hanna House Foundation is a nonprofit sober living operator based in Lutz, Florida, running a men's recovery home in Hillsborough County under 501(c)(3) status.

A Registered Nonprofit Sober Living Operator

Hanna House Foundation runs its housing as a nonprofit, which puts its finances and mission under a different kind of public accountability than a for-profit sober home carries. That structure is a genuine differentiator in a market where most operators are privately owned.

Admission Standards Set Above the Floor

The foundation requires applicants to have already completed substance abuse treatment and to show a minimum of thirty days of sobriety before admission, on top of active recovery participation, employment, and a clean drug screen. Those standards filter for residents who are already stabilizing.

A Veterans-Focused Program Alongside the House

Hanna House Foundation also runs a program it calls Hanna House Veterans Ranch, aimed at veterans in recovery specifically, extending the foundation's mission beyond its main Lutz property.

Certification and Nonprofit Status Are Separate Questions

Nonprofit registration says nothing about whether a house is certified as a recovery residence. Florida's only approved certifying body for that purpose is the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, and certification remains voluntary under state law. A guide explains how FARR certification works for operators, foundations included, considering the process.

Serving Lutz and the Tampa Bay Area

Lutz sits at the northern edge of Hillsborough County, close enough to Tampa via North Dale Mabry Highway to give residents access to the broader Tampa Bay area's job market and outpatient providers without living inside the city itself.
