Glory House

What Glory House does

Glory House is a Sioux Falls, South Dakota-based non-profit founded in April 1968 by Rev. Dr. Roger Fredrikson to provide housing and reintegration support for men leaving prison. The organization has evolved into a comprehensive substance abuse and behavioral health treatment provider operating an integrated continuum of services from a single campus at 4000 South West Avenue. Its core service lines include residential treatment (capacity for 75 men and 32 women across the main facility and the Sands Freedom Center opened in 2008), outpatient counseling, a 16-week Methamphetamine Treatment program based on the Matrix Model, electronic monitoring (SCRAM Remote Breath Pro, GPS, sweat patches, smartphone-based voice/facial recognition), case management, walk-in assessments, and 25 units of supportive housing through Glory House Apartments (opened December 2019). Service delivery is grounded in evidence-based practices including MRT, DBT, CBISA, and Truthought's Corrective Thinking process, with case managers using the Level of Service Inventory to tier clients into appropriate service levels.

The underlying technology stack is primarily third-party monitoring hardware and software rather than proprietary development, augmented by case management workflows built around the LSI assessment tool. Revenue is generated through three principal streams: government contracts and referrals from SD DSS, Department of Corrections, Unified Judicial System, and U.S. Probation (with some clients receiving services at zero cost via DSS funding); client service fees on a sliding scale tied to 2025 Federal Poverty Guidelines (residential at $94/day, group counseling $52, individual counseling $124, electronic monitoring $10/day plus $40 connection fee); and donations/fundraising, including a current Phase 2 campaign for Glory House Apartments.

Customers are referred primarily through South Dakota courts, the Department of Social Services, the Department of Corrections, self-referrals, and historically the Federal Bureau of Prisons (Community Sanctions Center designation 1995-2018). Glory House operates a community-led GTM motion embedded in the Sioux Falls justice and social services ecosystem rather than a traditional sales motion, with leadership under President Nicole (Nicki) Dvorak-Ripperda (appointed 2022, with the organization since 1999) and a Board chaired by Ryan Kolbeck.
