Healing House was started in 2003 when Bobbi Jo Reed saw there were hundreds of women going through treatment for a substance use disorder every year in the Kansas City metro area who did not have a safe place to live after completing their first phase of treatment. Returning to an unsafe, unhealthy, and non-supportive environment would make their recovery journey extremely difficult.
As part of her personal faith-based recovery journey, it became her goal to provide faith-centered, safe and stable homes as well as purposeful guidance to these women. Throughout the years, Healing House has expanded its services to men, children, and entire families. Healing House serves over 300 individuals per year providing homes for 152 family members and up to 25 children at any given time.
Healing House is committed to long term recovery relationships, empowering and equipping people to have purposeful lives, rebuilding families, community, and restoring hope. In a once crime riddled community, Healing House has remodeled 13 houses converting them into beautiful homes. In doing so, the community is being transformed into a safe place for all to live and flourish.
