The Peer Perspective Podcast

Our Mission
Peer Perspective Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization working to establish the first recovery-focused housing program in the St. Croix Valley specifically for women and their children. Our mission is to provide a safe, stable, and supportive environment where families can heal together, access recovery resources, and build healthy, sustainable futures.
Why This Matters
-
Critical Gap: Our region currently lacks dedicated housing for mothers in recovery, often forcing women to choose between treatment and keeping their children.
-
Holistic Support: This will be more than just housing. We envision a home filled with recovery programming, life skills training, parenting support, and peer community.
-
Stronger Communities: Recovery-focused housing helps reduce relapse, promote reunification, and create lasting change—for individuals and the community as a whole.
We Have Secured a Home
We are excited to share that Peer Perspective Inc. has officially secured a multi family residence in River Falls that will become the first home for our supportive recovery program. This marks a major step forward in creating a safe, stable, and empowering environment for women and their children.
Our team is working hard to prepare the space, furnish each unit, and build out the recovery focused structure that will guide day to day life in the home. Our goal is to open on January 1, and we will continue to keep everyone updated as we move through this next phase.
Introducing Ashley’s House
As we step into this new chapter, we are honored to share that our first recovery residence will be named Ashley’s House. This dedication is in memory of Ashley, a childhood friend whose life was cut short due to her struggles with mental health and substance use. She leaves behind three children, and her story reflects both the heartbreak of this crisis and the urgent need for places that offer compassion, support, and a chance to rebuild.
Naming the home in her honor is our way of keeping her memory alive while creating a space filled with the hope and healing she deserved. Ashley’s House will stand as a reminder of the people we have lost and the lives we are working to protect.

Holiday Heroes Campaign
To help bring Ashley’s House to life, we launched our Holiday Heroes Giving Campaign. This community driven effort is helping us gather the furniture, supplies, and essential items needed to create a warm and supportive environment for the women and children who will call this place home.
Every contribution makes a real difference. Whether it is a financial donation, an item purchased from our Amazon list, or simply sharing our mission with others, the support has been incredible. We are deeply grateful for everyone who has stepped up to help prepare this home for its first families.
What’s Next
As we get closer to opening, we will release full details about the application process, referral pathways, eligibility, and all relevant program information. For now, we invite you to stay connected, follow our progress, and share in the excitement as this vision becomes a reality.
Big things are ahead, and we are grateful to everyone walking alongside us.
