They offer community‑based housing blending a safe, sober living environment with supportive, holistic recovery services.

Their whole-person support also offers prenatal and mother‑child medical visits, parenting training, life‑skills education, case management, and in‑house AA meetings. These services help women build strength, gain parenting skills, improve health, and reach independence.
