Overview
Mission
The mission of the Travis House is to free men and women from the bonds of addiction. Residents develop a biblical foundation and learn recovery tools to live a healthy and productive life. We believe that having a relationship with Jesus Christ will lead to healing and recovery.
What it reported doing in 2025
Love Life House served four residents for the majority of 2025, with periods throughout the year when all five beds were occupied. The women demonstrated a strong commitment to their recovery by maintaining employment, regularly attending recovery meetings, and deepening their relationship with God. The program celebrated one graduate during the year, and one resident remained in the program for the entirety of 2025, continuing to build a strong foundation for long-term success.In 2025, the program expanded its transitional support services through a wellness grant that funded nutrition and healthy living classes, as well as additional recovery-focused programming. These enhancements provided residents with valuable tools to support both their physical well-being and continued recovery.Love Life was also able to purchase two e-bikes which have significantly improved transportation access for residents who do not have personal vehicles. The e-bikes have helped women reliably travel to work, appointments, and other essential activities, fostering greater independence and self-sufficiency.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 74% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
