Project Summary

Joseph House Recovery for Veterans is a transformative $9.3 million development located in Cincinnati’s Camp Washington neighborhood. This 23,500-square-foot, three-story facility was designed and built specifically to serve U.S. military veterans seeking recovery, offering 46 residential units in a fully ADA-accessible environment. It is the first inpatient recovery center in the area purpose-built to welcome both male and female veterans with dignity, safety, and inclusivity at its core.

For this project, Model Group partnered with MA Design to create an environment that goes well beyond typical treatment facilities. Our team delivered a thoughtfully planned space that combines clinical functionality with warm, inviting interiors. Features include private residential rooms, group therapy spaces, communal lounges, wellness areas, and administrative offices—all designed to promote healing, stability, and a true sense of belonging. Residents can access comprehensive treatment on-site, from inpatient programs with structured sober housing and intensive outpatient therapy to ongoing aftercare services and family support.

This project was funded through a mix of public and private sources, reflecting strong community and government support for veteran care. Model Group provided full development services, from preconstruction planning through construction management, ensuring the facility met rigorous accessibility and licensing requirements while staying on time and on budget. The result is a facility certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services that significantly expands Joseph House’s capacity to serve Greater Cincinnati veterans, with nearly 100 clients supported at any given time.

Joseph House Recovery for Veterans stands as a testament to Model Group’s mission to revitalize communities through high-quality, purpose-driven development. By creating a safe, welcoming, and functional space tailored to the needs of veterans in recovery, we are proud to help deliver not just a building—but hope, healing, and a pathway forward for those who have served our country.
