About Living Ark

Living Ark is a sober living operator in St. Michael, Minnesota, providing recovery housing for men in Wright County.

A Sober Living Operator in Wright County

Living Ark runs its program from St. Michael, a growing exurb on the northwestern edge of the Twin Cities metro. Operating outside the urban core places the organization in a smaller, quieter housing market than most Minnesota sober living providers, which cluster around Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

A Smaller Footprint in a Growing Community

St. Michael's population has grown steadily as the Twin Cities metro has expanded outward, and Living Ark's presence there gives residents of Wright County and the surrounding area a recovery housing option without a commute into Minneapolis or Saint Paul.

Minnesota's Voluntary Certification Standard

Sober home certification in Minnesota runs through the Minnesota Association of Sober Homes and is not required by state law. Anyone evaluating a sober living operator in a smaller community should ask directly for the same disclosures a certified operator would provide in writing: fees, house rules, and a relapse and discharge policy.

Serving Wright County From Buffalo's County Seat Area

Wright County's seat, Buffalo, sits near St. Michael, and the county is connected to the Twin Cities metro by regional highway and bus corridors. That positioning lets Living Ark serve men from both the immediate area and the wider metro who are looking for recovery housing outside the two largest cities.
