A safe, sober, and nurturing home where women in recovery can rebuild, grow, and truly feel at home — a place where families heal and hope, at last, has an address.
Jane's House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to creating a safe, supportive, and healing home for women seeking recovery from substance use disorder.
We will serve women who are ready for a sober, stable, and nurturing space. And our mission reaches beyond the individual: we help restore the relationships that matter most — especially with children and family impacted during active substance use. We believe healing isn't only personal. It's generational.
Stable, structured, and nurturing — the foundation recovery needs to last.
Rebuilding the trust and connection between women, their children, and their families.
Through Monthly Accountability Packets, work, and education, women set goals, track progress, and build lasting stability.
Substance use disorder touches millions of lives. We choose to look at those numbers and see people worth fighting for.
people across the U.S. are affected by substance use disorder.
lives are lost to overdose every year, nationwide.
Illinois overdose rates continue to rise, exceeding the national average.
children of those affected face far higher risk — which is exactly what we're here to break.
So we choose to be part of the solution — breaking cycles, restoring families, and bringing hope back home.

Jane was kind, loving, and full of compassion — the kind of woman who gave everything she had to the people she loved. For many years she also carried the weight of substance use disorder, a struggle that strained her closest relationships and, at times, left her without a place to call home. She passed at the age of 52.
Jane's House was born from both love and loss — because we believe every woman deserves to be met with grace and compassion, not judgement.
Founded by the women who knew her best, this home is built on a simple belief: that no woman should have to walk this road without support. With your help, Jane's House will become what Jane needed but never found — a safe, steady, and hopeful place to begin again.
Jane's story is not unique. So many women are walking a similar path right now, and Jane's House exists for them — to meet them with dignity, restoration, and the stubborn, beautiful belief that healing is always possible.

"Jane is my mother. For years I carried the anger of loving a mother in active addiction. Serving through my home church, I felt called to give my mom's pain and mine a purpose. I truly believe that if you can heal the mother, you can heal the family — and that's exactly what Jane's House intends to do."
"I always say, 'Be the person you needed when you were a kid.' I'm looking forward to being that person for countless women who come through Jane's House — and to helping families heal and reconnect the relationships lost during active addiction."
"I'm the big sister, Jane's oldest daughter. I can only imagine how different our mom's life could have been with the resources she needed. I don't want women to suffer for lack of resources anymore — or their children to go through what we did. I can't wait to see how Jane's House changes families."
"I'm looking forward to the ripple effect of Jane's House across our community — watching women heal and grow in ways they never thought possible. I'm especially excited about the education we have planned. I truly believe something like this could have changed our mom's life."
"I'm Jane's youngest daughter. Like my mother, I lived with addiction for several years, and today I'm grateful to walk in recovery. I understand the 'why' of addiction — and the 'why' and 'how' of sobriety. I can't wait to build relationships with the women who come through our doors."
"I believe every woman deserves hope, support, and a chance to rebuild her life. I'm honored to be part of a mission that will change lives and strengthen families in our community."
The belief at the heart of everything we do.
