Who We Are
From Our Clients
“East House comes into your life when you are at your lowest. When you have lost everything… to have someone like your counselor guide you through your new apartment and look at you, not as a diagnosis but as a person. East House gave me back something that I had lost- a key to my door and a key to myself.”
– East House client
“I struggle everyday with my addiction. To know that East House has always be there for me as a support. They really change lives.”
- East House Alumnus
From Our Corporate Partners
“It has been a pleasure to partner with East House on several permanent supportive housing programs over the last two years, including Paul Wolk Commons. East House is an exceptional advocate and support system for individuals struggling with mental illness and chemical dependency. In my experience, East House staff across all departments provide quality, compassionate, and professional care to the clients they serve.”
- Monica McCullough, Providence Housing Development
Regarding East House Hope & Recovery Luncheon
“This isn’t your typical fundraising luncheon. The speaker was fascinating and believe it or not, the food was great. The Hope & Recovery Luncheon was an intimate class act!”
– Don Lasher, Capstone Construction Services
“I am not the only one who was born with a chemical imbalance in my brain. The more we come out and share our stories with others, the healthier we will get.”
- Anna ‘Patty’ Duke
“When I met Patty Duke, she hugged me and called me her sister in arms. You have no idea how invaluable it is to have a person who understands the struggles of mental illness come publically forward and show it is okay. I often struggle with the loneliness of this illness, but Patty showed me that I am not alone. I am proud that she speaks for people like me that often struggle in silence.”
