Polygamist Leader's Home Turned Into Sober Living Facility

A 44-bedroom house that was once the home-base for polygamous church leader Warren Jeffs has been converted into a sober living center.

It’s the latest sign of his group’s dwindling control of the small community on the Utah-Arizona border.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or FLDS, has been weakened due to the imprisonment of several of its leaders and many members being evicted from their homes for failure to pay.

Jeffs’ home is a 29,000-square-foot home that is among about 150 other houses that have been redistributed after a church-ran trust was seized by the Utah state government.

Warren Jeffs is serving a life sentence in a Texas prison for the raping and marrying underage children.
