Recovery is possible — and we’ve proved it for decades.

Benilde Hall is a Kansas City nonprofit providing residential treatment, housing, and support for men facing addiction, mental illness, and homelessness.

Our vision

Recovery grows through belonging

At Benilde Hall, we are committed to unlocking the potential within each person. Through personalized services, we help build brighter futures for Veterans and individuals who have faced challenges such as incarceration, addiction, trauma, and housing insecurity.

In recovery, a “sense of community” must be established for the therapeutic process to continue. Our vision is to extend our continuum of care of services for clients by creating feelings of belonging and connectedness.

In a “ripple effect,” we will keep clients engaged in the therapeutic process as they become role models for the benefit of the whole community.

Our history

From one small home to a recovery community

For more than three decades, Benilde Hall has grown from a transitional home for teenage boys — opened by founder Godfrey Kobets — into one of Kansas City’s most trusted recovery communities for men.
