Our Mission
The mission of The Linden Grove Foundation is to provide transitional housing, education, training and supportive services to people in recovery from addiction and mental illness.
We are a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation, organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. No part of our earnings benefits any private person. Every dollar goes back into our homes and the people living in them.

How We Carry Out Our Mission
Our mission has four parts, and each one shows up in the day-to-day life of our recovery home in McKees Rocks.
The Harlem HouseFounded 2024
Structure And Accountability
Clear house rules, a house manager on site, random drug testing, curfews and weekly house meetings.
Education And Training
Residents are expected to work, look for work, or enroll in school or vocational training while they live with us.
Supportive Services
Seven 12-step or other recovery meetings a week (five if working) during roughly the first six months, a sponsor, peer support from people with lived experience, and referrals to licensed counseling.
Who We Serve
People Rebuilding Their Lives
We serve adults in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction in the Pittsburgh area, starting with men 18 and older at the Harlem House. Many come to us at the most fragile point in recovery: the first days and weeks after treatment, a hospital stay or incarceration, when a stable place to live can decide what happens next.
Many of our residents are referred by courts, probation and parole, and treatment programs, and we work closely with those partners. We welcome people on medication-assisted treatment prescribed by a Pennsylvania physician.
The foundation was started by people who have been touched by addiction, in their own lives or the lives of people they love. They saw too many people in recovery living in houses that collected rent and offered little else, and set out to build the kind of recovery housing they wished had existed.
That means running our homes by the book: written policies, clear rules, a house that has passed inspection, and a board that stays involved. It also means treating every resident with respect while holding them accountable, because structure and dignity work together.
The Harlem House is our first home. As the foundation grows, we plan to open additional recovery homes in the Pittsburgh area.
