What it reported doing in 2025

Providing a structural living environment and connecting women in recovery from addiction to a safe environment characterized by healthy behaviors and support leading to lifelong sobriety. Each resident participates in a 5-phase program. Each phase has a defined objective with assigned books to read and a written summary. They participate in group discussions regarding the reading material, attend 3 addiction recovery meetings per week and church on Sunday. They are required to donate community service hours and are also required to work a job. Each resident is assigned household chores for the week and is required to maintain a weekly budget of income, expenses, and savings.
