About East House

The mission of East House is to empower individuals in recovery from mental health and substance use disorders to recover and to live healthy and fulfilling lives in their community.

Our Story

Change has been at the heart of East House programs since we first opened our doors in 1966. Our founders were concerned citizens and business people who wanted a safe alternative for people leaving an institution and living in recovery in the community. We opened the second group home in the United States, the first in New York. Fast forward  and here we are today- empowering more than 1,200 people each year through a spectrum of housing and recovery support services to not only heal, but to find fulfilling lives in wellness.

Our Vision

East House will become the behavioral health provider of choice for quality supportive housing, including a full range of recovery support services, in the Greater Rochester area.
