Healing House

What Healing House does

Healing House Inc. (d/b/a Healing House KC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2002 by Bobbi Jo Reed and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. The organization provides an integrated recovery support system for individuals with substance use disorders, spanning CARF-accredited outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, multiple recovery residences for men and women, a Recovery Community Center at 112 N Elmwood Ave, community outreach services, peer mentorship through the Recovery Road Builders program, and family recovery services. Day-to-day, the model blends trauma-informed clinical care with peer support delivered by staff who are themselves in recovery, and a referral pipeline that draws from the Missouri Department of Mental Health, corrections systems, healthcare partners (Swope Health Services, University Health), and local churches.

Revenue is generated through a mix of individual and corporate donations, annual fundraising events (Welcome Home Gala, Cliff Hanger Run), government grants including Missouri Department of Mental Health funding and opioid-settlement-derived public funds, potential insurance billing for treatment services, and a branded apparel store operated via Print Your Cause. The organization supplements its programmatic services with deep community partnerships covering employment (Goodwill Industries), food security (Harvesters), financial literacy (First Federal Bank of Kansas City, Simmons Bank), and basic needs (Giving the Basics). A Family Enrichment Center at 4600 St. John Avenue is in buildout to expand family-facing programming.

The go-to-market is community-led rather than sales-led: referrals from healthcare providers, churches, government, and word-of-mouth through alumni testimonials function as the primary intake channel, supported by website applications and an admissions phone line. Recognition includes CARF International accreditation, Missouri Department of Mental Health certification, Charity Navigator four-star rating, Candid/GuideStar Platinum Transparency (2025), and BBB Accredited Charity status. Geographic operations are concentrated in the Kansas City metropolitan area with no indication of multi-market expansion.

Direct peers

• Sober Living America: Sober Living America is a nonprofit organization providing recovery housing and sober living services for individuals with substance use disorders, with comparable peer-support programming and state-level funding reliance.
• Clean & Sober Recovery Services: Clean & Sober Recovery Services is a nonprofit recovery housing provider with multiple residential locations serving individuals in early recovery. Directly comparable in mission, size, and operating model, though operating in California rather than Missouri.
• Oxford House: Oxford House operates the largest network of self-run recovery residences in the United States on a nonprofit, charter-based model. It is the closest analog to Healing House's recovery housing model and peer-led approach, differing mainly in scale and national footprint.
• Gaudenzia: Gaudenzia is one of the largest nonprofit addiction and behavioral health treatment providers, with residential, outpatient, and recovery housing programs. It is comparable because it serves similar populations with comparable services and is also nonprofit, grant-and-public-payer funded.

Broad incumbents

• Caron Treatment Centers: Caron is a long-established nonprofit addiction treatment organization offering residential and outpatient services nationally. Comparable to Healing House in mission and CARF-accredited SUD offerings, but with a broader geographic and service footprint.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Hazelden Betty Ford is the largest nonprofit addiction treatment provider in the U.S., offering residential, outpatient, and recovery housing services across multiple states. It is comparable because it occupies the same SUD treatment space but at much larger scale and broader portfolio than Healing House.

Emerging players

• Phoenix Multisport: Phoenix Multisport is a nonprofit that builds sober community through fitness and outdoor activities for people in recovery. Comparable because it represents the same lived-experience, peer-led engagement model but focused on fitness rather than housing.
• Recovery Cafe Network: Recovery Cafe Network is a nonprofit membership organization supporting community-based recovery cafes offering peer support, recovery programming, and social connection. Comparable to the peer-driven Recovery Community Center model at Healing House.

Others

• Mid-America Addiction Technology Transfer Center: Mid-America ATTC is a federally funded center that trains and supports the addiction treatment workforce across Healing House's service region. It is an ecosystem partner rather than competitor but operates in the same SUD services ecosystem in Kansas City.

Regional players

• First Call (Kansas City): First Call is a Kansas City-based nonprofit providing substance use, mental health, and recovery support services. Comparable as a regional recovery-services peer operating in the same metro market with similar donor and grant economics.
