Keisha Bryant founded Penny’s House, a recovery home in Duquesne, after years of addiction. With Pennsylvania’s Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs issuing a new licensing program for recovery homes, Bryant is planning to apply for licensing while dismantling the stigma that still revolves around three-quarter houses.

On a hot and sticky summer day, the owner of a recovery home in Duquesne opened its doors to host an open house and block party to all the children in the neighborhood. Colorful streamers and flags were stretched across the street and connected to the yellow, brick house. Booths with carnival games, hot dogs and lemonade were stationed on both sides of the street. Music by Drake and Post Malone blasted as kids danced on the hot pavement.The owner of the house, Keisha Bryant, stood on the front porch, megaphone in hand to raffle school supplies. She sported a purple shirt that in white letters read: Penny’s House.
Penny’s House is a three-quarter way recovery home that Bryant opened with her savings in 2017.
