Kentucky River Foothills Development Council, Inc. is enthusiastically
preparing to open the doors to Liberty Place Recovery Center for Women,
LLC. Liberty Place Recovery Center for Women will become Richmond’s first
long-term substance abuse treatment facility for women. Services provided
will be free of charge to clients. This unique center will provide support and hope for women recovering
This project is a joint effort by the Kentucky Housing Corporation, the Governor’s Office for Local Development, the Department of Corrections, and the FHLBank of Cincinnati to build housing recovery centers across the state. The Recovery Kentucky program emerged in January 2005 in response to the Governor’s Drug Summit Task Force’s assessment that recovery programs were essential if Kentucky was to address the escalating drug epidemic facing all regions of the state. The goal of the program is to have at least two centers in each congressional district. Half of the centers are for women and half for men. Residents must make the commitment to overcome their addictions, be over the age of 18 and be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to participate. ABOUT THE CENTER * The Center, which is part of the City of Richmond’s Linden Street Revitalization effort, is also supported by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and Section 8. * There are three living phases in this program, - Safe off the Streets, Motivational Tracks 1 & 2, and Transitional Housing. * Operating funds come from the Kentucky Governors Office for Local Development (GOLD), the Kentucky Department of Corrections and the City of Richmond Project Based Section 8. * Anticipated occupancy date - July 1 2008! As we near opening day, we greatly need your help!
Construction on Liberty Place Recovery Center for Women will be finished in
May 2008, and we will begin to serve clients in July 2008. MOVE-IN DAY FLYER (click here)

As a transitional supportive housing development, Liberty Place Recovery
Center for Women will use a recovery program model that includes peer
support, daily living skills training, job responsibilities and challenges
to practice sober living. This unique type of supportive housing and
recovery program is proven to help people who face the most complex
challenges to live more stable, productive lives. It has been demonstrated
successfully by The Hope Center in Lexington and The Healing Place in
Louisville.
