Community centers
Sober space that's open, not exclusive.
Our community centers give residents and neighbors a substance-free place to gather, get support, and be useful to one another.
Why they matter
Housing keeps people safe. Community keeps them here.
A sober bed solves the immediate crisis. What holds sobriety over years is having somewhere to go on a Tuesday night, people who expect you, and a role to play. That is what the centers are for.
What happens here
Programming built around real needs.
Recovery meetings
Regular 12-step and alternative recovery meetings, open to residents and to anyone in the neighborhood who needs a room and a chair.
Veteran & senior groups
Peer groups built for shared experience, plus help navigating VA benefits, Medicare, and local senior services.
Meals & company
Shared meals, coffee, games, and holidays — the ordinary social life that keeps isolation from doing its damage.
Job & life skills help
Résumé and interview practice, computer access, budgeting, ID and document assistance, and referrals to training programs.
Who can come
Residents, alumni, families, and neighbors.
You do not need to live in an OASE house to walk in. Meetings and most programs are open to the public, free, and substance-free. The only expectation is that you arrive sober and treat the space and the people in it with respect.
