VIDEO – KEEP IT $IMPLE –
March 13, 2025 – Unlike non-profit sober living homes in Bloomington such as Amethyst House and Courage to Change, Malibu House is registered with the state as a Domestic Limited Liability Partnership. A review of Malibu House’s recently-designed website and its previous iteration showed no mention of its business status.
Malibu House operates at a level of residential recovery — it doesn’t have clinical services — with little regulation in Indiana. That’s despite dealing with vulnerable people paying to live in a place that helps them beat addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Malibu House has posted on social media a one-time “bed fee” of $150 and rent of about $125 per week. Just the rent for a house with 10 people would bring in about $5,000 per month. Meckes has at least five homes that the rental company Pendragon was advertising at $1,650 to $2,750 per month.
The residents of such homes are sometimes ordered there by a court after drug-related offenses. Some go voluntarily because they’ve relapsed.
