Information you need to know about Sees the Day

  Sees-the-Day, Inc., located in York, Pennsylvania, operates as a three-quarter or transitional housing program. It differs from a halfway house in part because there is no formal or professional counseling on-site. Residents are encouraged to attend aftercare sessions at outpatient facilities within the community. Moreover, house members are required to be actively involved in a 12-Step recovery program. They must attend AA or NA meetings daily (90 meetings in 90 days). Residents are also required to maintain employment or perform at least 25 hours of community service weekly. Members' responsibilities include participation in the day-to-day operations of the house.

Sees-the-Day, Inc. is not affiliated with any state or federal agencies and is mainly supported through the residents' weekly rent and food monies.
