The Upper Room Recovery Community

About The Upper Room Recovery Community

The Upper Room Recovery Community is a sober living operator serving the Michiana region from South Bend, Indiana, in St. Joseph County. Led by Executive Director Molly Kelly, who has more than seven years in long-term recovery herself, the organization builds its work around peer support, structure and connection to community resources.

A South Bend Recovery Housing Provider

The Upper Room Recovery Community describes its purpose as helping adults rebuild their lives after addiction through peer support, structure and connection to community resources. Recovery, in the organization's framing, happens inside a community, and its work is built around keeping residents connected to people and services beyond housing alone.

A Peer-Led Model Rooted in Lived Experience

Molly Kelly's leadership reflects a peer-recovery model: someone with her own long-term recovery running the organization that houses others working toward the same goal. That lived-experience leadership is a distinguishing feature next to organizations run purely by clinical staff.

Connected to Bridges to Recovery Center

The Upper Room Recovery Community works alongside Bridges to Recovery Center, a community space offering peer support and connections to local resources. That pairing extends the organization's reach beyond its residential housing into ongoing community support for people further along in recovery.

Serving the Michiana Region

South Bend anchors St. Joseph County and the broader Michiana region, straddling the Indiana-Michigan border. The Upper Room Recovery Community has built local partnerships and grant support specifically around this cross-border service area, expanding its recovery support work across the community over time.
