Sober Living Inc. will hold an open house and dedication ceremony for Joe's Place, a new recovery residence for men, on Saturday, May 16, from 2 to 4 p.m., the organization said. The home is located at 1921 7th Street in Wichita Falls and is open to the public for the dedication.
The residence is named for Joseph Whalen and is intended to provide a structured, supportive environment where residents can focus on sobriety, employment and rebuilding family and community ties.
