‘Not just a roof, but a foundation’: Bend nonprofit announces new sober living home for women in recovery
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – New Each Morning, a Bend-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting women in recovery, announced Monday the upcoming grand opening of The Juniper House Sober Living.
The community is invited to an open house on Sunday, Feb. 15, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at 62466 Eagle Road in Bend, the organization said in a news release that continues below:
The Juniper House addresses a critical gap in Central Oregon's recovery continuum: safe, stable housing for women transitioning from treatment programs to independent living.
Research shows that lack of secure housing is one of the primary factors contributing to relapse and Oregon's high recidivism rates.
"Many women leave treatment with nowhere safe to go," says Cathie Coe Sipe, the founder and executive director of New Each Morning. "Without stable housing, recovery becomes nearly impossible. The Juniper House provides not just a roof, but a foundation — a place where women can rebuild their lives with dignity, support, and hope."
The 2.3-acre property features a 3,364 square foot home that will house multiple women, including an on-site house manager. The property also includes space for gardening, raising chickens, and developing life skills that support long-term recovery and self-sufficiency.
Since 2020, New Each Morning has equipped women graduates of recovery programs with certified peer support, job preparation, transportation assistance, and life-skills development. The Juniper House represents the realization of the organization's founding vision: to provide safe, alcohol and drug-free transitional housing where women can establish a firm foundation to thrive.
The February 15 open house will feature guided tours at 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, and 3:00 PM, with light refreshments served. Community members, potential partners, donors, and anyone interested in supporting women in recovery are encouraged to attend.
