About me

I'm tired. 

I'm tired of handing a homeless person $5 and driving away. 
I'm tired of the stigma given to humans in trauma.

I'm tired with the exclusivity of middle and upper class housing. 

IVY Home aims to provide sober recovery housing in calm, beautiful neighborhoods. Safety is a human need, and recovery becomes possible when a person knows they are safe. 

My name is Ivery. I'm a wife and a Mom. I've lived in Wichita for 20 years and in Kansas my whole life. 

I'm more kid than adult. I was raised to be a business owner - an investor. I love: to play with kids like I am one, to sing like no one is listening, to dance like no one is watching, and to worship God like it's only the two of us. 


How does a Housing Provider look?

Like a human.
