House of Hope

About House of Hope

House of Hope is a sober living operator in Columbus, Ohio, running certified recovery residences in Franklin County since 1959.

A Long-Standing Columbus Recovery Housing Provider

House of Hope is the longest-standing substance use disorder provider in Columbus, built around a four-phase recovery pathway: Finding Hope, Building Hope, Living Hope and Maintaining Hope. The organization's recovery residences sit at the final phase, housing men who have already been through stabilization and structured treatment.

Multiple Certified Residences in Columbus

Ohio Recovery Housing certifies House of Hope for several residences across Columbus. The organization does not publish a public list of individual house names or addresses beyond the one on record with this directory, so applicants should expect placement to be handled directly by the operator rather than by choosing a specific address in advance.

CARF Accreditation Alongside Housing Certification

Beyond its Ohio Recovery Housing certification, House of Hope carries CARF accreditation, a standard more commonly associated with clinical treatment programs. Holding both gives a prospective resident or referring case manager two independent records to check on the organization as a whole.

Admission Through a Structured Pathway

Because recovery housing is the last of four phases, admission runs through the organization's broader treatment pipeline rather than as a standalone application. House of Hope requires Franklin County residency, at least 90 days of sobriety, full-time employment, and active 12-step participation before a resident reaches the recovery-residence phase.

Serving Franklin County Since 1959

Columbus is the Franklin County seat, and House of Hope's decades of continuous operation there include a working relationship with the county's ADAMH behavioral health board, which is part of how the organization keeps its long-term pathway funded and staffed.
