About Sisters In Christ

Sisters In Christ is a sober living operator in Kansas City, Missouri, running certified recovery housing for women in Jackson County. The organization focuses on women experiencing homelessness and women reentering the community after incarceration, and it serves between 50 and 60 women a year across its two houses.

A Women's Recovery Housing Provider in Kansas City

Sisters In Christ organizes its housing as a two-stage progression. Women move through the program from initial stabilization into longer-term sober living, with the organization's own staff supporting medical and mental health assessments along the way.

Serenity House and Carolyn's House of Faith

The organization runs two residences for women. Serenity House serves as the intake home, typically for 30 to 60 days, providing safe housing alongside comprehensive medical and mental health assessment. Carolyn's House of Faith is the sober living and transitional phase that follows, with a stated focus on eliminating criminal behavior and building responsibility and accountability.

Dual Accreditation: NARR and Missouri DMH

Both homes are accredited by the National Alliance for Recovery Residences and certified by the Missouri Department of Mental Health, and are listed with the Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers, MCRSP, the state's NARR affiliate. That combination of a housing accreditation and a state clinical certification is unusual among Missouri's smaller operators and gives Sisters In Christ two separate layers of outside accountability.

Serving Jackson County Women in Reentry

Kansas City anchors Jackson County, and Sisters In Christ's two-house model is built to serve women coming directly out of incarceration as well as women experiencing homelessness elsewhere in the metro. Moving a woman from Serenity House into Carolyn's House of Faith without changing organizations keeps her case management, her assessments and her support network intact.

Who Sisters In Christ Serves

The program is built for women who need both an initial stabilization placement and a longer sober living stay afterward, particularly women reentering the community after prison. Referrals often come through Jackson County's reentry and recovery networks.
