Grateful to share that Wanda Way Homes 🏡Recovery Housing Initiative has been awarded an additional $15,000 grant to support our mission of providing safe, stable recovery housing and supportive services for individuals rebuilding their lives after substance use challenges.

This funding will help us continue meeting the housing and recovery needs of our residents while creating a community where healing, accountability, and hope can thrive. We are incredibly thankful to our funding partners and everyone who believes in the work we are doing.

This Memorial Day weekend, we’re also focused on relapse prevention through connection and community. Many of our residents will be attending AA and NA meetings, and we’ll be hosting a Movie Night with pizza and popcorn, a campus brunch, and a Memorial Day barbecue and bonfire with games and fellowship.

Recovery can feel lonely, especially during holidays. That’s why creating positive experiences, healthy outlets, and a sense of belonging is so important. Recovery isn’t just about staying sober—it’s about building a life worth celebrating.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Wanda Way Homes and the people we serve. ❤️🏡

💼✨ Recovery Through Opportunity ✨💼

Our Wanda Way Homes 🏡 residents had a great time at a local job fair on Thursday, exploring career opportunities, networking with employers, and taking steps toward greater stability and independence.

We were proud to see them show up looking professional, confident, and ready to invest in their future. At Wanda Way Homes, we provide case management support to help residents with job searches, career planning, and employment growth—even after they secure a job.

Every step forward matters. 💙

Today at Wanda Way Homes, we celebrated a very special milestone for one of our residents, Ms. Haley. 💕🎈

After spending the past five months at Wanda Way Homes, Haley is stepping into her next chapter in recovery and independent living, and we could not be more proud of her journey.

Haley is a dedicated mother, a hardworking woman balancing two jobs, and someone who has remained committed to her recovery every single day. She is now officially a year and a half clean and continues to show what perseverance, accountability, and healing truly look like.

Throughout her time on our co-ed campus, Haley became an inspiration to many of our residents — both men and women alike. Her growth, consistency, and willingness to keep pushing forward has encouraged others around her to continue fighting for their own recovery journeys.

At Wanda Way Homes, we believe recovery is not just about sobriety. It’s about rebuilding lives, restoring confidence, reconnecting with family, and creating stability for the future.

Although Haley is transitioning out of housing, she remains part of the Wanda Way Homes family. She will continue participating in OP services, recovery groups, and community support because we believe ongoing connection and accountability are essential to long-term success.

Today, in honor of Mother’s Day, our team celebrated Haley with flowers and balloons to recognize not only her recovery journey, but also her strength as a mother working hard to reclaim her life and future for herself and her children. 💐

Please help us wish Haley continued success, peace, healing, and growth as she enters this next season.

We are proud of you, Haley. ❤️

Wanda Way Homes would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our valued community partner, the YWCA 💛

Following today’s Rising Star leadership class, the YWCA generously donated leftover meals to support residents at Wanda Way Homes Recovery Housing Program. Acts of kindness like this make a meaningful difference in the day-to-day experience of those we serve.

Tonight’s evening group was extra special—residents enjoyed Taco Wednesday 🌮, creating their own tacos and taco salads while participating in treatment. Moments like these bring a sense of comfort, joy, and community into the recovery journey.

We are grateful for partners like the YWCA who continue to show up, give back, and invest in the well-being of our community. Together, we are creating pathways for healing, stability, and hope.

A Powerful Day of Impact at Wanda Way Homes ✨

Wanda Way Homes recently had the opportunity to speak with all three pods at River City, sharing information about its recovery housing program and the supportive services available to individuals seeking stability and a fresh start.

A highlight of the visit was welcoming back the program’s first graduate, Alexis Luster, who joined as a guest speaker.

Today, Alexis serves as a Peer Support Specialist, using her lived experience to uplift and guide others navigating recovery. During her testimony, she courageously shared her journey—from early challenges with ADHD and exposure to medication at a young age, to struggles with substance use and a period of incarceration.

Her story is one of transformation, resilience, and purpose.

Now, Alexis is not only walking in her recovery—she is helping others do the same.

Her journey reflects what recovery looks like today: individuals stepping into careers in behavioral health, advocacy, and peer support—turning lived experiences into leadership and impact.

Wanda Way Homes is proud to be a part of that journey.

The organization also shared that two new residents will be joining the program from River City in the coming weeks, continuing its mission of providing safe, structured, and supportive housing.

A special thank you to Rashida and the River City team for the opportunity to connect and collaborate.

Wanda Way Homes remains committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all residents, while also honoring the courage of those who choose to share their stories to inspire others.

• 2 beds for men

Wanda Way Homes is proud to celebrate one of our residents, Melissa, on reaching 1 year of sobriety 🥹🔥

This past weekend, Melissa marked this milestone with a bonfire and barbecue celebration on campus, where Wanda Way Homes supported by providing materials, decorations, and a safe space to celebrate her journey.

To honor her accomplishment, she was also gifted a self-care package and clothing from Lusheous Collection Inc, reinforcing an important message we stand on:

Recovery is not just about doing the work—
It’s about rebuilding confidence, self-worth, and learning to love yourself again.

Melissa is now working toward her next goal of employment within the recovery field, and our team is proud to support her continued growth.

Please join us in celebrating Melissa’s incredible milestone 💕
