Overview
Mission
Love, strengthen, and accompany people in recovery from addiction in faith-based healing community.
What it reported doing in 2025
Residential Recovery Program: Our committed staff, structured program, orderly and safe facilities, and emphasis on healing provide the kind of environment that fosters change. Graduates have been reunited with children, freed from court involvement, returned to school, found employment, completed the 12 steps, and mended relationships with family. At our entry-level homes, we encourage a nine-month stay. The Trust, Willow House, Alder House, and Juniper House offer long-term community living to men and women in stable recovery.During 2025, we opened our seventh and eighth recovery residences and residents made significant progress in their recovery. We housed 76 people in eight recovery homes. Of those, 23 residents completed outpatient treatment; 22 residents completed the Genesis Process; 13 residents started college coursework; 32 residents reported deepening their faith; 35 residents repaired or deepened relationships with their families; 15 residents regained driver's licenses; 18 residents established secure permanent housing; and 8 residents completely resolved their criminal cases.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 75% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
