One Big House
Building stability
with dignity.
One Big House is not a single building or program. It is a shared philosophy and operating framework developed jointly by Friendship House and Limen to replace fragmented systems with seamless, coordinated pathways of care.
Limen is the recovery partner within this shared effort, transforming lives and communities through comprehensive recovery and mental wellness services.
What is One Big House?
One Big House is a coordinated continuum of care that aligns housing, recovery, behavioral health, and supportive services.
Each organization maintains its unique identity and expertise. Together, we coordinate resources, remove barriers, and create clear pathways so individuals and families can access the support they need, when they need it.
One mission. Two organizations. One pathway forward.
Shared purpose
We work together toward long-term stability with dignity.
Coordinated pathways
We align services so transitions are supported, not stalled.
Stronger together
Together, we can reach more people and create deeper, lasting change.
Limen within One Big House
Limen is the recovery partner.
Limen provides recovery-centered services that help individuals rebuild their lives after substance use.
Within One Big House, Limen connects recovery support to the broader conditions that make stability possible: housing, work, relationships, and community.
This alignment helps ensure that recovery is not just a phase, but part of a life that can be sustained.

The Challenge We Face
Homelessness and overdose are deeply connected in Delaware.
Without stable housing and coordinated support, people remain at risk of relapse, incarceration, hospitalization, and even death.
Fragmented systems leave too many navigating alone.
Coordinated Continuum
One Big House connects housing, clinical treatment, recovery support, and community stabilization so people can move forward with support at every step.
Together, these services form a continuum that stabilizes individuals in crisis while creating pathways to recovery, employment, and permanent housing.
Creating Possibilties
When services work together, people experience fewer barriers, clearer next steps, and support that continues across transitions.
It is not about doing everything in one place. It is about working together so people do not have to start over.
- Fewer gaps
- Clearer next steps
- Stronger outcomes
- Dignified care
Looking Ahead, Together
This first phase of One Big House is a foundation for what comes next.
By aligning resources and expertise, we will expand access, strengthen infrastructure, and build a model that can grow so more people across Delaware can find the stability they deserve.
