Overview

Mission

The southern West Virginia fellowship home is here to serve all in need of a better life apart from drugs and alcohol. We have a confident expectation that a whole new life "a better life" exists for all.

What it reported doing in 2024

The fellowship home provides 6-18 months structured transitional living for recovering addicts and alcoholics while they remain abstinent and practice principles found in the 12-step programs. We practice a straightforward, no-nonsense approach, believing that is crucial for the individual put to put as much or more effort into recovery as we do.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
