PNW Grassroots Recovery

What makes PNWGR different is that we don't just provide a bed. We provide a pathway to self-sufficiency

PNWGR (Pacific Northwest Grass Roots Recovery) stands out from many traditional recovery housing programs because it goes beyond simply providing a sober place to live. Our program combines peer-staffed recovery housing, intensive case management, peer support, access to mental health services, transportation assistance, and a Housing First approach with a right-to-remedy philosophy, all designed to help individuals transition from homelessness, incarceration, or crisis into long-term stability. What truly sets PNWGR apart is that our structured three-phase recovery program is fully integrated within our recovery housing model. Residents are supported by an on-site House Manager and on-site Peer Support Staff available Monday through Friday, providing daily guidance, mentorship, accountability, and encouragement from individuals with lived experience in recovery. Through transportation assistance, residents can access treatment services, medical appointments, employment opportunities, recovery meetings, and other essential resources that support long-term success. Our program begins with Phase 1: Stabilization, where residents focus on securing benefits, identification, healthcare, treatment, and basic needs. In Phase 2: Community, residents develop healthy routines, recovery capital, and meaningful connections through engagement in recovery supports and pro-social activities. Finally, in Phase 3: Independence, residents work toward self-sufficiency, employment, financial stability, and permanent housing. PNWGR doesn't just provide housing. We provide a community, a recovery pathway, and a support system that walks alongside each resident from crisis to stability, empowering them to build a life of purpose, dignity, and long-term recovery

The Dewey House is named after a talented member of our community who struggled with mental health and addiction challenges. Dewey had a remarkable skill set, excelling in playing the drums, building cars, and achieving all-state recognition as a wrestler. Despite his initial successes, his life took a distressing turn when he started using substances. The ensuing struggles with mental health, including paranoid thoughts and voices, led to a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Despite attempts at medication, Dewey faced challenges in adhering to treatment while continuing to battle his addiction. Tragically, he reached a point where the burden of his mental health became unbearable, and he made the difficult decision to end his life. With Dewey in our hearts and minds, we created The Dewey House to carry forward his spirit and inspire hope through recovery.
