Men Expecting More

About Men Expecting More

Men Expecting More operates two licensed sober houses in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, both licensed by the state's Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs under Act 59 of 2017.

A Philadelphia Recovery Housing Provider

Men Expecting More runs its housing at two separate addresses inside the city, an arrangement that lets residents move between locations without leaving the organization that already has their history. Its two Philadelphia properties are both state-licensed recovery houses rather than unregulated rooming arrangements.

Two Licensed Houses in Philadelphia

Men Expecting More licenses recovery housing at two Philadelphia addresses:

• United Recovery Org, on North 17th Street in the Fairhill section.
• United Recovery Org, on North Broad Street in the Logan section.

Both fall under the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs' Act 59 licensing framework, which means both have agreed to state inspection and a published set of minimum standards.

What Act 59 Licensing Covers

Pennsylvania does not require every recovery house to license, so an operator that has licensed both of its properties has chosen a level of oversight most unlicensed housing skips. Licensure under Act 59 sets minimum standards for safety and operations and gives the state a basis for inspection and complaint review.

Serving North Philadelphia

Fairhill and Logan sit on opposite ends of the same Broad Street corridor that runs the length of North Philadelphia, one of the city's densest concentrations of recovery housing. Men Expecting More's two addresses put residents inside a service area with hospitals, outpatient clinics and the Broad Street Line running through the middle of it.

Reaching Men Expecting More in Philadelphia

Applications for either address go through Men Expecting More directly. Because the organization runs both, a resident who needs a different set of housemates or a shorter commute can ask about the other property without starting the process over with a different operator.
