Leander & Williamson County, TX
A Safe Place for Recovery
The Yellow House Foundation is a nonprofit based in Leander, Texas, providing a safe and permanent space for 12-Step recovery meetings. Entirely volunteer-run and funded by donations, we support over 2,500 meetings each year for individuals and families affected by substance abuse in Williamson County and the Greater Austin area.
Who we are
The largest nonprofit 12-Step organization in Williamson County.
Most recovery groups can only rent a room once a week. We’re different — our Foundation owns a permanent facility, so groups have a reliable home every day of the week. No 30-day notices. No displacement.
In 2019, the Texas House of Representatives unanimously passed HR 2149, honoring YHF for its contributions to substance abuse recovery in Central Texas.

Why We're Different
A Permanent Home, Not a Temporary Room
Most recovery groups can only rent space once a week. We own our facility — giving 8 different programs a reliable, judgment-free home every single day of the year.
What Makes Us Possible
Since 2003, the Yellow House Foundation has been entirely volunteer-run and community-funded — built and sustained by people who believe recovery deserves a permanent home.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Yellow House Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization operating in the state of Texas formed in 2003, governed by a nine-member Board of Directors committed to this mission of recovery in Central Texas. The Board was created as a legal entity to own and manage the property and enter into legal contracts for Hope Group AA and other related Groups in the Cedar Park & Leander area of Williamson County.
The Foundation is controlled by a nine-member Board of Directors. Directors are recommended to have at least three years of current and continuous sobriety. The Board has final authority over governance and management of YHF’s properties.

To ensure the Hand of the AA community as extended by the Hope Group & is readily available in the Leander-Cedar Park area of Williamson County.
The Hope Group lost their lease in the Little Yellow House in late 1996 & was in despair locating another home. Hope Group was on a month to month & only a 30-day notice to vacate. Hope Group moved to their new building & present location in April 1997. The owners of these facilities have been protecting and representing the interest of the Hope Group since April 1997 insuring a proper facility for the Hope Group AA and other AA related meetings & Groups. They too are Friends of Bill W.
The goal of the Yellow House Foundation is to provide a safe and permanent home for all of the Recovery Groups that meet under their roof. YHF has already purchased the land and is now planning to construct a new facility that meets the growing community’s needs.
