Providing You a Sober and Independent Environment

The Kindred Center (TKC) opened it's doors in 2014 due to need in the sober and independent living community. These communities include persons that have endured homelessness, paroled or probation, and in need of an environment conducive to their lifestyle of being sober.

The staff is informative, motivating, and understanding. The staff maintain a superior level of professionalism and respect for TKC's residents.

Upon arrival and living here after a week or so, most of our residents make statements of "I could stay here for a long time."

A Few Words of Love

"I arrived in L.A. with no idea where I was or was going. Within the 6 days I was here, I was hospitalized for 3 days. I was released and referred to The Kindred Center. I said, "Half-way house! What?" Once there, I met Lynn, very sweet. I said, "I'll be back in a minute just going for a couple of beers." Got my first taste of straight. Lynn said, "This is a sober and living facility." I said, "Oh Man!" Then, I met Richard. He took me in with almost no money for rent. I never met anyone like them before, but I could feel the love. And still do! I had fun and met the greatest people. If you want a place to put direction and peace in your life, this is the place."

-Jimmi S.

The Kindred Center

"Living here at The Kindred Center, I feel warmth from others. Also, when I talk to people here I get a sense of happiness when going through my own life. While staying here, I feel that it helps me throughout my journey when things are given to me as a challenge. I feel that they understand more about others here and in life. Thank you Lynn and Richard!"

~ J. Bustos

Good Things

"I am 60 something years old and been with Lynn since 2003 when she worked at a different place. When she opened her own business I moved with her. I enjoy being around Lynn because she reminds me of my children and keeps me active and laughing. I am a permanent fixture in this facility and enjoy every moment. I go to a adult care program for a half a day then, retire to my room where there is peace and quiet."

~ Ruth

Admiration

"I want to thank you for all your kindness and services. You have a well-run facility and good staff members. P.T. never had one complaint while he was staying there. He sure did brag about your home style cooking. Although he had to leave, who knows he may return to your facility. I admire you and your staff....what an asset to The Kindred Center. God Bless YOU!"

~ B.J. Thomas, Guardian of P.T.

Feeling Comfortable

The owners are very compassionate and pleasant to deal with as well as the building is brand new and all rooms are a decent size with no overcrowding of tenants that can be an issue in some places."

~C. Tiner

Finding Myself

Gracious

"There was one thing I did not like which was my roommate. Other than that, the facility was kept clean, the food was good, and my overall experience was a good one. I want to thank you for allowing me to stay and for your services."

~ P.T.

The Stay

"My stay at THE KINDRED CENTER has been nothing short of amazing. The establishment is well-kept, clean, and the owners, Richard and Lynn, are very hospitable. You could say it is a home away from home as it is well furnished with a day room, spacious backyard, and the tenants are like a family. The supervisor, Chris, ensures that the environment is both comfortable and welcoming. I highly recommend staying at THE KINDRED CENTER; should I EVER need assistance in somewhere to live, I would without a doubt return to my second home, THE KINDRED CENTER."

~ Michael D.

The Adjustment

"Upon arrival at The Kindred Center it seemed a little to quiet for my taste. But as time went by I learned to appreciate the cleanliness and the good food. I would recommend it to anyone with challenges of any sort. In addition, the other housemates are friendly and the staff takes time to listen and do their job in a professional manner."

~ Dan O.

The Letter

"The Kindred Center in brief has basically gotten me back on my feet. Additionally, from being homeless and in mental hospitals for an entire summer. They run a tight ship with an 8 pm curfew and zero drug use. Also, there are chores every Saturday. The only meetings they require are for the house, which are on every other Saturday or Sunday. I am happy to say that I am now stable and thinking straight. I had been living here for about six months. This is the best sober/independent living I have ever been to because there are no bed bugs, clean house, , friendly people, and manager/leaders. Oh! And in my opinion, the food is always excellent."

~ Is-Z
