Sanctuary First House

About Sanctuary First House

Sanctuary First House is a women's sober living operator in Yakima, Washington, part of the recovery housing serving Yakima County. The organization runs its housing under its own name, and its focus stays narrow: one household, one gender, one set of house rules.

A Women's Sober Living Operator in Yakima

Sanctuary First House keeps its housing single-gender, serving women working through early recovery in a shared household. Running under one name for both the organization and the household keeps admissions, house rules and accountability under one roof and one point of contact.

A Small-Scale Model for a Single Household

Sanctuary First House works a single address in Yakima. That scale means decisions about admissions, house rules and day-to-day accountability stay with people who know every resident directly, without the layers a larger multi-house network would add.

Recovery Housing in Yakima County

Yakima is the seat of Yakima County and the commercial center of central Washington east of the Cascades, with outpatient providers, courts and social services concentrated downtown. That gives Sanctuary First House's residents a short trip to the appointments, meetings and job leads recovery in Yakima typically depends on.

Applications go directly to Sanctuary First House in Yakima, Washington. The questions worth asking of any small, single-address operator apply here too: what the weekly cost covers, how long a resident can expect to stay, and what happens if a resident relapses while living there.
