The Foundation Behind Every Man We Serve
"Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
— Romans 12:1–2

Structured Housing for Men Who Are Ready to Change
Kingdom Life Recovery is a structured, faith-based residential program at 3011 Chamberlayne Ave in Richmond, Virginia. Since 2004, we have provided men returning from incarceration — and men in recovery — with the housing, accountability, and community they need to build a lasting life.
Every man who enters Kingdom Life Recovery gets more than a bed. He enters a structured environment with Biblical teaching, mentorship, life skills, and employment support. The average stay is 6 to 8 months — long enough to build something real.
$100/week — the lowest bed fee of any comparable transitional housing program in Richmond. The area market average is $149/week. We keep it low on purpose: cost should never be the reason a man can't get help.
Who We Help
Men returning from incarceration, stepping out of another program, or ready to stop the cycle. Safe housing, daily structure, faith-based community, and real support. $100 a week. A program that works.

What We Provide
What a Man Gets at Kingdom Life Recovery
This is not a shelter or a halfway house. It is a structured recovery community with a proven track record and the lowest cost in Richmond.
Daily Structure & Accountability
Biblical teaching, life skills groups, employment support, and daily accountability built into the program from day one. Men are expected to work or actively job search. Structure is not a punishment — it's what makes freedom possible.
Faith & Brotherhood
A Christ-centered community open to any man who is ready to change. Mentored by men who went through the program themselves. The faith foundation is not an add-on — it is why this works.
From Our Graduates
The Proof Is in the People
"Eight years later, the transformation is undeniable. I paid off over $20,000 in fines, earned my Electrical Journeyman certification, own my own business, and my whole family is back in my life. With God in my life and Kingdom Life Recovery behind me, I committed to a lifestyle of being clean and sober every day."
