Poulsbo Mayor and City Leaders Partner with Gambit Recovery to Open Nelson House Sober Living Home
When Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson and Kim Hendrickson reached out to Tom Fay, they asked him to bring Gambit Recovery’s model of structured sober living to the Northwest Peninsula. The result is the Nelson House—a historic property transformed into a men’s sober living home in July 2024. With six beds, shared rooms, and resident caretaking built into daily life, the house is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to grow. Weekly rent is kept affordable, while residents gain access to local support groups, treatment resources, and employment opportunities through the Recovery Resource Center. Nelson House marks Gambit Recovery’s first step into Washington, opening the door for future homes in Kitsap County and beyond.
