Queen of Peace Center

About Queen of Peace Center

Queen of Peace Center is a St. Louis, Missouri sober living operator and family-centered behavioral health nonprofit that has served women and their children for decades. It runs recovery housing alongside treatment and family-support programs, all under one organization.

A St. Louis Recovery Housing Provider for Women

Every Queen of Peace Center residence is dedicated to women, many of them mothers rebuilding a relationship with their children at the same time as their sobriety. The organization does not run co-ed housing, and it structures its programs around the reality that a woman's recovery and her family responsibilities are rarely separable.

Serving St. Louis Through Two Recovery Homes

Queen of Peace Center's residential footprint covered in this review includes:

• ST. Philippine Home, on Goodfellow Boulevard in St. Louis, for women.
• Our Lady of Perpetual Help, on Linton Avenue in St. Louis, for women.

Both sit inside the city of St. Louis, keeping residents close to the same outpatient providers, courts and transit lines regardless of which address they are placed at.

Family-Centered Behavioral Healthcare Beyond Housing

Housing is one of three pillars in Queen of Peace Center's model, alongside residential and outpatient behavioral healthcare and a family-support arm the organization calls Nurturing Networks. That structure lets a resident move from treatment into housing, and from housing into aftercare, without changing agencies.

Recovery Housing Provider With Wraparound Family Support

Childcare and family programming under Nurturing Networks exist because losing time with a child, or losing custody outright, is one of the most common reasons women in Missouri delay entering treatment. A recovery housing provider that builds family contact into its housing model removes one of the biggest practical barriers to a woman finishing a program.

One Organization, Consistent Rules Across St. Louis

Because Queen of Peace Center runs its own housing directly, house rules, intake and case management stay consistent across its residences. A woman who needs a different setting after intake is working with the same organization she already knows.

Who Queen of Peace Center's Sober Homes Serve

The organization's housing suits women coming out of residential treatment, crisis housing or unstable living situations who need a supportive, women-only address while they stabilize. Its family-centered design makes it a particular fit for mothers who need housing that does not force a choice between recovery and their children.
