Men’s recovery home · Tracy, California
A place to start over,
and stay standing.
The Coalition runs two homes for men in Tracy: one for men getting sober and rebuilding, one for older men who need a permanent place to belong. Call and talk to a person about which one fits.
No application fee (916) 838-0020
Two homes, one mission
A home first.
Then everything else.
Men arrive from the street, from jail, from treatment, from a couch that ran out. What they get here is a clean, sober, structured home and people who expect something of them.
Emerson House is for men rebuilding toward independence. Rochester House is for older men and men with disabilities who need somewhere permanent. Which one fits is a conversation, not a form.
Look at both homesEmerson House
Opened July 2012
A transitional recovery home for men who are ready to work a program, hold a job and rebuild. Owned by the Coalition.
Rochester House
Opened November 2015
A long-term, family-style home for older men and men with disabilities who care for themselves day to day.
Accountability
Sobriety is the floor, not the goal. Testing, recovery meetings and shared responsibility for the house.
Stability
A daily routine, work, and a plan for the money that comes in, so a man leaves with a deposit and a cushion.
Belonging
Meals at one table, holidays, people who notice when you are missing. For some men that is the whole point.
For families and loved ones
You are allowed
to ask questions.
If someone you love needs a recovery home, you are probably exhausted and hearing a lot of promises. We will tell you plainly what the program asks, what it does not do, and whether this is the right place for him.
We are not a detox, a treatment center, or a case management service. We are a home with rules, and that is a different thing.
Information for familiesBefore you get in touch
Common questions.
How do I apply?
Call (916) 838-0020 and ask for Brian. He will talk through what you need, what the home asks, and whether Emerson or Rochester is the right fit. There is no application fee.
Do I have to be sober already?
Both homes are completely drug and alcohol free, and that includes marijuana. We do not run detox on site. If you still need to get clean first, call us anyway and we will point you to the right place.
Is this a religious program?
The Coalition is faith based and that is part of the house. It is not pushed on anyone, and men of any belief are welcome.
Do I need to work?
At Emerson House, yes, unless you have a documented disability. Rochester House is different: it is for men who may not be able to hold a job.
What does it cost?
There is a monthly program fee, set with the Program Director based on your situation. Call and ask. We would rather talk about money than have you spend another night outside.
Where are the homes?
Both are in Tracy. We do not publish the addresses, for the privacy of the men living there. You get them when you come in.
If you need help tonight
You do not have to wait for us.
