Mission 25

About Mission 25

Mission 25 is a nonprofit sober living operator in Columbia City, Indiana, serving Whitley County since January 2000. Alongside its certified recovery residence, the organization runs a community center, a recovery engagement space and a supportive housing program for people rebuilding after homelessness, crisis or addiction.

A Whitley County Recovery Housing Provider

Mission 25 is built around case management as much as housing. Staff work with residents on the practical pieces of independent living: food, stable housing, mental health support and a path back to employment, alongside any substance use recovery a resident needs.

Certified Through Indiana's DMHA Process

Mission 25's residential program carries Level III designation through the Indiana Affiliation of Recovery Residences, the tier for structured peer housing without live-in clinical staff. That designation requires published fees and rules and a complaint process outside the organization itself, on top of the county residency requirement Mission 25 already enforces.

Multiple Programs Under One Whitley County Roof

Beyond its certified recovery residence, Mission 25 runs a Recovery Engagement Center where people can access meetings, resources and recovery coaches, a supportive housing program with thirteen units for residents transitioning toward independence, and a community center serving a local mobile home park. That range gives a resident a path to follow after leaving the residence itself.

Two Decades Serving Whitley County

Mission 25 has operated in Columbia City, the Whitley County seat, since January 2000, and its residency requirement limits the program to county residents. That focus has built a long track record with local government, employers and the community foundations that support the organization's grant funding.

Applying to Mission 25

Applications and referrals go directly to Mission 25 in Columbia City. Residents commit to a minimum thirty-day stay that can extend up to two years depending on compliance and need, and questions worth asking cover both the housing and the case management: how program fees work, what the drug-screening policy requires at intake, and how a resident moves between Mission 25's housing and supportive services as circumstances change.
