Shared Living
Welcome to Liya's House, we are housing providers offering safe and well-maintained homes for individuals dealing with housing difficulties. Our shared housing model accommodates residents in comfortable spaces.
Our Approach Is Based Upon
Three Principles
Support
Access to education, employment, and counseling are crucial for maintaining sobriety. Our residences, are strategically located near population hubs, facilitating better access to essential resources. Additionally, our residents get to develop relationship-building skills through peer engagements within the home.
Housing
Our homes are in comfortable, drug-free environments. We expect residents to adhere to house rules and treat fellow residents with mutual respect.
Healing
It’s typical for recovering individuals to experience diminishing self-confidence and hopelessness. Liya’s House is rooted in compassion, and kindness, we view hope as the catalyst for the recovery process.
