History Friendship House was founded by the late Louise and Claude Montgomery. In 1985, at age 70, Louise and her prayer partner Alison Kelley, felt that God was directing them to open Friendship House. Through several miracles, she and her husband purchased a home on Brackett Street in Portland, renovated it, and opened it to the cities' homeless population. Through transition,experience and prayer, the home eventually became a haven for men who were recovering from addictions. In 2003, after struggling to keep up with an increase in demand, Friendship House was blessed with the opportunity to move into a larger home located in South Portland, Maine. Friendship House is a Christian home that is run on Christian principles. The director and manager are Christians. However, we do not exclude individuals of other faiths, nor do people have to believe what we believe in order to be a resident or remain in residency. We believe that an individual is made up of three parts: physical, emotional/intellectual and spiritual. We offer support, guidance and assistance in all areas and believe that receiving, as well as extending forgiveness is a key part of recovery.
