About Sankofa Sober Living

Sankofa Sober Living is a sober living operator based in Boston, Massachusetts, running certified coed recovery housing in Suffolk County.

A Boston Sober Living Operator for Couples and Coed Households

Sankofa Sober Living runs its houses as coed, couples-friendly recovery residences and describes its approach as culturally competent care for residents from any background. That coed structure is unusual among Massachusetts sober homes, most of which are single-gender, and it lets couples in recovery stay housed together rather than splitting up during early sobriety.

Housing in Dorchester and Beyond

Sankofa's properties include the Bird Street house in Boston's Dorchester section and additional housing on Woolson Street elsewhere in the city. Running more than one address under central contact and consistent rules gives residents somewhere to transfer to if a particular house is not working out.

What MASH Certification Confirms About Sankofa's Houses

Sankofa's Bird Street residence carries certification from the Massachusetts Alliance for Sober Housing, the state's NARR affiliate, at the Level II standard MASH certifies. That commits the operator to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules, and an outside complaint process, and it makes the house eligible for referrals from state agencies and from parole and probation.

Clinical Access Alongside Sankofa's Housing

Residents keep their own outside providers for individual counseling, relapse prevention and tobacco cessation while Sankofa's role stays focused on stable, structured housing and peer accountability.

Reaching Sankofa Sober Living

Applications for Sankofa's Boston houses go through the operator directly, and a prospective resident can ask which of its addresses has an opening and whether it fits a coed or couples household.
