About Your Help Is On The Way Foundation

Your Help Is On The Way Foundation is a sober living operator based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, running recovery housing across the city under two house names, Acorn Sober Living and 2nd Chance Sober Living.

A Milwaukee Recovery Housing Provider

Your Help Is On The Way Foundation runs five sober living homes inside Milwaukee, split across two house brands. Acorn Sober Living covers three of the addresses, numbered I and II alongside the original house, and 2nd Chance Sober Living covers the other two, split into an Upper and a Lower unit.

Five Homes Across the City

• Acorn Sober Living, on Milwaukee's north side.
• Acorn Sober Living I, on Milwaukee's near north side.
• Acorn Sober Living II, on Milwaukee's near north side.
• 2nd Chance Sober Living, Upper unit, on Milwaukee's northwest side.
• 2nd Chance Sober Living, Lower unit, on Milwaukee's northwest side.

Wisconsin does not publish street addresses for recovery residences, so none of these appear with a road name. The Upper and Lower designation on the 2nd Chance houses points to a two-unit building run as separate residences, which is common in Milwaukee's older housing stock.

A Voluntary Certification Landscape

Wisconsin does not require a recovery residence to certify with the Wisconsin Association of Sober Housing or to register with the state. Absence from either list is not a finding against an operator, and a family evaluating Your Help Is On The Way Foundation is better served asking directly about fees, house rules and its relapse policy than checking a registry that a large share of legitimate Milwaukee operators simply are not on.

Recovery Housing in Milwaukee County

Milwaukee is the seat of Milwaukee County and the state's largest city, with the deepest concentration of outpatient treatment, courts and transit of anywhere in Wisconsin. An operator running five houses inside city limits gives residents access to that full network without leaving the county, and a resident who needs a different house later has four other options with the same organization.

Reaching Your Help Is On The Way Foundation

Applications go directly to the organization. Worth asking: which of the five houses has an opening, what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager lives on site, and how the operator handles a relapse. Those are the questions a certified house would have to answer in writing, and they are worth asking here regardless.
