Our House is a residence and substance abuse therapy clinic for expecting and postpartum women in Pembroke, NC, operated by Robeson Health Care Corporation. The design of the residence allows individuals to maintain a sense of place and privacy by providing 12 bedrooms, each with private baths, around common living, dining and kitchen areas.
Women and their infants can live in this supportive residential environment for up to two years, with a separate therapy clinic offering space for counseling, parenting classes, job coaching and other services. The project meets the requirements of System Vision’s Affordable Housing with Energy Star, making it, on average, about 15% more efficient than similar buildings.
