Residence Application

Completion of the Sober Housing Residence Application does not automatically secure a space in one of our Sober Living Houses. To determine if you qualify and to ensure we have an available space you must first speak to Jimmy Bogen, Sober Living Coordinator.  Jimmy can be reached at 952-476-0566 or at jbogen@theretreat.org. If you have not had prior contact with The Retreat and are submitting an application, someone will be in touch regarding our housing status.
