About Kelly House – Closed

Kelly House on Martin Street was an invaluable resource in Wilmington for more than 40 years but sadly had to cease operations in June 2024 due to costs and the passing of one of the founders of the program. Prior to closing Kelly House helped women with young children to find healing, stability, and a healthier future through residential therapeutic treatment in the community. It was specifically for women who qualified for SNAP or Medicaid.

Many Services Available

The nonprofit organization that had operated Kelly House has combined and expanded many of their programs to help individuals, families, and communities be healthier and happier by taking care of physical, mental, and behavioral health needs in a variety of settings.

I’m glad that the organization now features residential programs for youth and for men, and offers a wide array of services for women at other locations that are still operational.

Care for Young Mothers

Kelly House specialized in helping mothers and expecting mothers who wanted to stop the cycle of addiction and gain control of their substance abuse or alcohol use while also caring for themselves and their family. I saw that education, employment, and therapy were included in each woman’s personal care plan.

Prior to closing Kelly House provided individual and group therapy, including 12 Step programs, sober housing and therapeutic educational programs.
