The Kelly House

About Us

The Kelly House, LLC was founded in 2012 by Richard Winant and his wife and life partner, JoAnn Napoli-Winant.  Their primary mission is to provide a stable, structured and supportive residential experience for men. The goal is to work with each individual collaboratively on PROBLEM-SOLUTION-PLAN OF ACTION and on various Life Skills. We strive to give residents a reason to do something different. "Functional Recovery"

​

After working with several sponsees and taking them from one disappointing sober house after another, Rich came to the conclusion that there was a definite need for a quality mens' sober house that provided a  truly safe environment and encouraged men who lived there to incorporate the 12 steps into their lives and to practice the principles of AA in all of their affairs.​

​

The Kelly House now has a recovery dog- Bella, a Labrador/Heeler mix!!!
