Volunteers of America Mid-States

About Volunteers of America Mid-States

Volunteers of America Mid-States is a Kentucky nonprofit human services organization operating recovery housing for women in Louisville, in Jefferson County, as part of a much larger portfolio of social services across Kentucky and Indiana.

A Regional Sober Living Operator With a Long History

Volunteers of America Mid-States runs housing, veterans services, workforce programs and disaster relief across its service territory, and its recovery housing for women operates inside that same institutional structure.

Recovery Housing Focused on Mothers

The organization's women's recovery program is built around pregnancy and parenting, a focus that distinguishes it from most recovery housing operators in the state. Keeping mothers and children together during treatment and early recovery is the organizing principle behind how the housing runs.

What Kentucky's Sober Living Certification Law Means for This Operator

Kentucky requires certification through the Kentucky Recovery Housing Network before a recovery residence can accept referrals from courts, state agencies or health providers. That status is worth confirming directly with the organization for its Louisville program.

This Recovery Housing Operator in Louisville and Jefferson County

Louisville is the largest city in Kentucky and the seat of Jefferson County, and Volunteers of America Mid-States concentrates much of its Kentucky housing and social service work inside the city, where hospitals, courts and outpatient providers are all within reach of the same neighborhoods.

Reaching This Sober Living Operator

Referrals to the organization's recovery housing typically come through hospitals, courts, child welfare agencies or the organization's own intake process. The questions worth asking at the organizational level include how prenatal and postpartum care are coordinated, how long families can stay, and what happens after a resident moves into independent housing.
