Overview

Mission

Clean living athens will provide a second chance for women with drug/alcohol problems needing affordable, alcohol & drug-free housing. This sober living house will provide a hand up, not a handout. The residents will learn how to pay a small amount of rent weekly, be gainfully employed, attend 12-step recovery meetings and re-enter society. We will partner with watts bar church and other non-profit organizations, donors and ministries to provide meals and donations to help with costs. Any revenue generated by this house goes into a prudent reserve to cover any empty beds, repairs, and any emergency needs that may arise.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our unique value proposition is that women and the community, as a whole will benefit from safe, affordable housing, and we solve women's needs by providing emergency food, transportation to recovery meetings and resources. We will be unique by helping teach these women life skills and how to use resources and recovery support groups to maintain sobriety long-term and enjoy a happy, useful life. This will be the only place like this in the community. Women that stay at our sober living house will have the freedom to go to work and meetings and to have visits with their children. They will make connections in the community that will be sources of support for the rest of their lives. They will be surrounded by other sober women and women in the church that have a heart for serving.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
