Randy's House

About Randy's House

Randy's House is a sober living operator in Grand Rapids, Michigan, running certified recovery residences in Kent and Montcalm counties. Its stated mission is to restore people seeking recovery to mental, physical and spiritual wellness, and it pairs housing with individualized programming and peer recovery coaching.

A West Michigan Recovery Housing Provider

Randy's House describes what it offers as personalized recovery residences, and the emphasis on the individual runs through the model. Every resident is connected to outpatient substance use services and to whatever community resources the case requires, and every resident works with a peer recovery coach on a wellness plan aimed at building recovery capital. The organization is a housing and peer support provider; clinical treatment comes from partners, which keeps the houses focused on structure, accountability and a stable address.

Two Certified Sober Homes in Kent and Montcalm Counties

The operator runs two certified residences:

• A men's house in Grand Rapids, the seat of Kent County.
• A coed house in Greenville, in Montcalm County.

Neither address is published, and applications for both go through the operator. The pairing is useful: Grand Rapids is the region's service hub and Greenville sits forty minutes northeast in a rural county with almost no certified housing of its own, so the same organization covers a metro and a gap.

Certification Levels Across These Recovery Homes

Both houses are certified by the Michigan Association of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. The Grand Rapids men's house is certified at Level 2, the monitored tier, with a manager on site, house rules and drug screening. The Greenville house is certified at Level 3, the supervised tier, with paid staff and a written program. Michigan has no state licensure for recovery residences, so those two designations are the clearest published description of how much structure each household actually carries, and an applicant should ask which one fits.

What It Costs and Who Pays at This Sober Living Operator

The rate at both houses is $160 per week, and funding is available through Mid-State Health Network, Network180, West Michigan Community Mental Health and HealthWest for residents who qualify. Four funding routes is unusual for an operator this size, and it means a person leaving treatment without savings has a realistic path to a bed. Eligibility rests with the funder, so the first conversation should establish which route applies and how long an authorization runs.

Serving Men and Women in Recovery

The Grand Rapids house is men only and the Greenville house takes men and women. That gives the operator somewhere to place a woman in a region where women's beds are scarcer, and it gives a coed household in a small city where a single-gender house would sit half empty. Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted at both, and a felony record does not disqualify an applicant.

Recovery Housing Between Grand Rapids and Mid-Michigan

The footprint runs from Kent County into Montcalm County, along the corridor that carries people between the region's largest city and its rural north. Someone leaving treatment in Grand Rapids who needs distance from an old neighborhood can be housed in Greenville, and someone from Montcalm County who needs specialty care can be housed near it in Grand Rapids. Handling both ends inside one organization is what a resident is buying when choosing a multi-house operator.
