LGBT recovery house opens in No. Philly

LGBT Philadelphians who are struggling with drug or alcohol abuse and are looking to get their lives back on the right path now have a new support system to aid them in that effort.

People R Us, a transitional-living program that offers services specifically for LGBT individuals, opened late last month in North Philadelphia.

The two-house conjoined structure, on the 2100 block of West Tioga Street, can house 14 tenants in each building; one house is designated for lesbians, gay men and bisexuals and the other for transgender residents.

Darrin Molletta, founder of People R Us, said he was motivated to open the establishment after witnessing the challenges his transgender brother faced when he tried to seek assistance at a mainstream recovery house.
