Overview
East House provides housing and recovery support services for adults with mental health and substance use issues. It operates in Monroe, Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, Wayne, and Wyoming Counties, offering community-based programs that help people transition from institutional care to stable, supportive living. A key program is Affinity Place, a no-fee, short-term housing option that serves as a hospital diversion and is staffed by individuals with lived experience to support recovery. The organization funds its work through community support, donations, and partnerships to sustain its programs and reach over 1,200 people each year. East House aims to help adults 21 and older recover and lead fulfilling lives in a safe, empowering community while reducing crisis-driven services.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying

- A failed funding renewal or facility scale-up breaks East House's service model and community trust.
