Help on Hand

About Help on Hand

Help on Hand is a sober living operator based in Caruthersville, Missouri, running recovery housing in Pemiscot County in the Missouri Bootheel. The organization operates two houses under the House of Hope name, one for women and one for men, out of the same small city.

A Bootheel Recovery Housing Provider

Caruthersville sits at the southern tip of Missouri, and recovery housing options in the Bootheel region are limited compared with the St. Louis or Kansas City metros. Help on Hand fills part of that gap with two separate houses, one for each gender, which lets it serve both men and women without combining them under one roof.

House of Hope for Women and House of Hope for Men

Help on Hand runs the House of Hope Sober Living for Women and the House of Hope Sober Living for Men, both in Caruthersville. Splitting the program by gender, not address alone means house rules, meetings and shared space at each location are written for one population.

Serving Pemiscot County and the Bootheel

Caruthersville is the seat of Pemiscot County and one of the largest towns in Missouri's Bootheel, a rural stretch of the state where recovery resources are thin on the ground. An operator running two houses in the same small city gives residents from surrounding Bootheel towns a nearby option instead of a drive to St. Louis or Memphis.

Applying to a House of Hope Program

Both House of Hope locations are reached through Help on Hand directly, not through a separate address for each house. A prospective resident applying should expect to be considered for the house matching their gender, with intake, rules and fees handled by the organization, not varying house to house.
