Hope COS

About Hope COS

HOPE COS is a sober living operator in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in El Paso County, running four certified recovery residences alongside the nonprofit's broader homeless-services work in the city. The organization serves people early in recovery from substance use, offering a substance-free living environment along with peer coaching, employment resources, and access to mental health and substance use treatment.

A Nonprofit Recovery Housing Provider

HOPE COS runs its recovery housing as one part of a larger set of homeless services, which also include a warming shelter, a safe parking program, and an emergency food pantry. That breadth means the organization works with people at different points, some arriving directly into recovery housing and others moving into it after using the nonprofit's other services first.

Four Certified Recovery Residences

HOPE COS operates four certified recovery residences in Colorado Springs:

• HOPE COS - Byers
• HOPE COS - Acacia
• HOPE COS - Burlington
• HOPE COS - Hope Project

All four are certified through Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado and support medication-assisted treatment, keeping the door open to residents who need to continue a prescribed medication while living in a structured, substance-free house.

Peer Support Built Into This Recovery Housing Model

HOPE COS describes its approach around peer coaching and peer support, with a focus on skill-building, independence and accountability. Residents work alongside staff and other residents on the practical steps toward stability, including employment.

Certification Through Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado

Colorado requires certification by a Behavioral Health Administration-approved body for a recovery residence to accept state referrals and funding, and HOPE COS holds that certification through Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado across all four of its houses. The state does not publish per-residence certification levels, so the certification applies at the operator level.

Recovery Housing for El Paso County

Colorado Springs is the seat of El Paso County and the hub of the Pikes Peak region, and HOPE COS's position inside the city connects residents to the same outpatient providers, employers and public services the nonprofit's broader homeless-services work already touches. That overlap can matter for someone who used HOPE COS's shelter or food pantry before moving into one of its recovery houses.

Who HOPE COS Recovery Housing Serves

HOPE COS describes its recovery housing as being for people early in their recovery who need a substance-free environment and structured support to build toward independence. The nonprofit's connection to Colorado Springs' broader homeless-services network makes it a starting point for residents whose path into recovery housing runs through housing instability first.
