Samad'S House

About Samad'S House

Samad's House is a sober living operator in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, providing women's recovery housing in Milwaukee County. Tahira Malik founded the organization after her own recovery from addiction and incarceration, building it around the gap she found: women leaving incarceration with nowhere safe to land.

Founded on Lived Experience

Tahira Malik started Samad's House after her own history of substance use and incarceration, aiming to give women exiting incarceration a sanctuary instead of the unsafe conditions she saw waiting for them. That founding story shapes the organization's focus: women rebuilding sobriety and rebuilding a relationship with their families at the same time.

Women's Recovery Housing in Milwaukee

Samad's House runs three sober living homes for women, including women with children, inside Milwaukee. Wisconsin does not publish street addresses for recovery housing, so none of the three appears with a road name here; an applicant confirms the exact address with Samad's House directly.

Clinical Services Alongside Housing

Samad's House holds DQA credentialing for day treatment and intensive outpatient services, which means the organization delivers clinical programming itself, alongside its housing. Residents can access counseling and AODA classes through the same organization that houses them.

Harm Reduction as Part of the Program

The organization provides harm reduction supplies, including naloxone and fentanyl and xylazine test strips, alongside its housing and clinical programs. That combination reflects a program built for women at real risk of overdose, not just women already stable in recovery.

Family Reunification and Life Skills

Samad's House works on parenting support, family reunification, wellness, life skills and legal guidance, all aimed at helping women restore families as they rebuild their own lives. For a mother trying to regain custody or reunite with children, that combination of housing and family-focused programming addresses a need most standalone sober houses do not.

Reaching Samad's House

Applications go directly to the organization. Worth asking: which of the three houses has an opening, whether a child can stay with a resident, what the weekly cost covers, and how the day treatment and outpatient programs integrate with housing.
