What Gillys House Inc does

Gilly's House, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) sober living facility based in Wrentham, Massachusetts, that provides residential recovery housing and support services for men seeking sobriety and long-term recovery from addiction. Founded in 2017 by Barbara and David Gillmeister in memory of their son Steven "Gilly" Gillmeister, the organization operates a single residential location at 1022 West Street with 24-hour on-site staffing and holds MASH (Massachusetts Association of Sober Houses) certification—one of only a few facilities in Massachusetts combining this credential with 501(c)(3) status and continuous staffing. EIN: 82-1696539.

The organization's sole core product is its Sober Living Residence Program, which delivers in-person residential services including structured housing, a peer community of residents, and family-facing support groups for siblings and parents. There is no technology platform; service delivery is entirely physical and human-staffed. Bedrooms are dedicated by families who have lost loved ones to addiction, creating a memorial-driven operating model that ties the facility's mission narrative to recurring family donor acquisition.

Gilly's House is donation-funded rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue streams include one-time donations, monthly recurring gifts, in-kind meal donations, and corporate sponsorships—most visibly through its annual Summerfest fundraising event with tiered sponsorship packages (Double Platinum, Platinum, Gold, Silver). Residency fees are not publicly disclosed and the organization explicitly emphasizes affordability. Go-to-market is community-led: prospective residents are acquired through referrals from addiction recovery networks, healthcare providers, and word-of-mouth among bereaved families, with access via scheduled tours and phone interviews.
