Overview
Mission
To provide a safe, sober, and supportive home environment to assist those who identify as women in their efforts to recover from addiction and become caring members of society.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provided a safe, clean and sober living environment for women who are either homeless or in need of long term sober living and are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 63% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
