Your Help Is On The Way Foundation

About Your Help Is On The Way Foundation

Your Help Is On The Way Foundation is a sober living operator in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, running five recovery residences registered with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. The houses sit across the city under two names, 2nd Chance Sober Living and Acorn Sober Living, and range from three residents to eight.

A Milwaukee Recovery Housing Provider

The Foundation is a housing organization working in one city. Its residences supply a stable address, a set of house expectations and the accountability that comes from living among other people in recovery, while clinical treatment comes from providers elsewhere in Milwaukee. Residents keep their own prescribers, counselors and meetings. Running everything inside one municipality has a specific benefit for the people living there: moving between houses does not change the bus routes, the clinic or the caseworker.

Five Registered Recovery Homes in Milwaukee

All five residences are in the city of Milwaukee, in Milwaukee County:

• 2nd Chance Sober Living - Lower, three residents, registered March 2025.
• 2nd Chance Sober Living - Upper, three residents, registered March 2025.
• Acorn Sober Living, eight residents, registered July 2025.
• Acorn Sober Living I, four residents, registered September 2025.
• Acorn Sober Living II, four residents, registered January 2026.

Wisconsin publishes no street address for a registered recovery residence, so all five are reached through the operator. The spread of sizes is the useful part of that list: an applicant who does poorly in a house of eight can be considered for a three-person household without leaving the organization.

State Registration Across These Sober Homes

Every house the Foundation runs is on the Wisconsin Department of Health Services recovery residence registry, the earliest entry from March 2025 and the most recent from January 2026. Registration records the operator, the municipality and the maximum number of residents. Certification by the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing is a separate process with its own standards, and these residences are registered with the state. An operator that lists every one of its houses under the same name has at least made the portfolio legible, which is more than the unlisted end of the market offers.

Medication-Assisted Treatment Across These Milwaukee Sober Houses

All five residences accept residents using medication for opioid use disorder. Applying one policy consistently across a portfolio matters, because a resident transferring between houses does not risk losing a prescription along with a bed. In Milwaukee, where methadone dosing and buprenorphine prescribing are concentrated in the city, that consistency also keeps a resident's clinic within reach after a move.

Where This Milwaukee Sober Living Operator Works

The footprint is Milwaukee itself. The city is Wisconsin's largest, the seat of Milwaukee County and the hub of a metropolitan area reaching into Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington counties, and it holds most of the region's treatment capacity, transit and entry-level employment. An operator with five houses inside those city limits can place a person near the specific clinic, employer or family member that makes the difference, without asking anyone to leave the county.

Reaching Your Help Is On The Way Foundation

Applications go to the Foundation directly, since no house publishes an address. The questions worth asking at the operator level are the ones about the organization: how long it has housed people in Milwaukee, whether it takes referrals from treatment providers, the county or the courts, how fees and deposits are documented and refunded, how a resident is moved between houses, and how a complaint gets past a house manager to someone with authority over all five. A provider with a portfolio this size should have those answers ready.
