About The Foundry Ministries

The Foundry Ministries is a faith-based recovery housing provider in Alabama, operating certified men's recovery residences in Cullman and Birmingham. The organization runs long-term programs, and both of its certified houses in this listing are among the largest in the state.

A Faith-Based Alabama Sober Living Operator

The ministry is explicit about its Christian foundation, and that shapes what it asks of residents. Anyone weighing one of its houses should ask at intake which parts of the program are required, which are open, and how much of the weekly schedule they occupy. Faith-based operators in Alabama also tend to bring a network of churches, volunteers and donors with them, which shows up in practical form: transportation, furniture, job leads, and people who visit.

Men's Recovery Homes in Cullman and Birmingham

Two certified residences appear under this operator:

• The Foundry Farm, at 575 County Road 1676 in Cullman, certified at Level III with capacity for 70 men.
• Changed Lives Christian Center, at 1308 26th Avenue North in Birmingham, certified at Level II with capacity for 55 men, managed in partnership with the ministry.

The two sit about fifty miles apart on the Interstate 65 corridor and offer genuinely different settings. Cullman is a rural campus with land around it; north Birmingham is inside a city, on a bus line, close to courts, hospitals and work.

Certification Across These Sober Houses

Both addresses are certified through the Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences, which grants certification one residence at a time. The Cullman campus carries Level III, the supervised tier with defined staff roles and written service plans, and the Birmingham house carries Level II, monitored housing with a manager accountable for the property. Certification is voluntary in Alabama, so an operator holding it at both addresses is choosing a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, and an external complaint process at each one.

Other Programs This Recovery Housing Provider Runs

The ministry's own programs page lists further life-change programs beyond these two certified addresses, including work in the Bessemer and Birmingham area and housing for women. Anyone whose situation does not match a men's residence should ask what else is currently running and where, since the organization's footprint is wider than its certified listings.

Recovery Homes Across North Central Alabama

Between Cullman County and Jefferson County, this operator covers the stretch of Alabama with the heaviest demand for beds and the deepest supporting infrastructure. Birmingham holds more recovery housing than any other city in the state; Cullman, halfway to Huntsville, draws referrals from both metros. A man moving between the two settings stays with one organization, one set of expectations and one point of contact.
