Project Details

Partner With Us to Rebuild the Future for More Women and Children

The total cost of this expansion is estimated at $1.8M. We need your help securing the final $300,000 in order to:

  • \Increase Hannah House capacity from 11 women and 20 children to 20 women and 46 children. This represents an 81% increase in capacity for those we could purposefully serve with holistic recovery opportunities.
  • \Turn a condemned property into two new facilities that would incorporate a daycare, playground, program, office, therapy, and community spaces and add much-needed transitional living space for those women who have completed various stages of recovery.
  • \Provide additional program housing, to include 64% more cost-effective Level I, II and II program housing for those willing to commit to the significant process of recovery from addiction and trauma.
  • \Enhance our holistic care program. The restorative approach within the Hannah House program speaks to the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of each person served to ensure the very best long-term, lasting outcomes.
  • \Facilitate Community Development as the new central program facility and connective campus homes allow for additional spaces for women in the program to gather, meet with counselors, share celebratory meals, and ensure children spend time with mothers (either for facilitated visits or through reunification) have safe, fenced places to learn and play.

    Pathways to Transformation

    From Surviving to Thriving

    “One of my big takeaways in recovery was during the Genesis Process, and that was learning about false beliefs. The Hannah House has directly affected me being successful in my sobriety due to having a safe, sober place after getting out of jail. The support we receive is amazing and a godsend.”

    — ARIANA

    “Being at the Hannah House has taught me so much about myself and given me the best community of women I know I can count on. I am very grateful for the Hannah House!”

    — TANISHA

    “Hannah House saved my life. I have been in addiction since I was 13 and could not stay clean no matter what I did. The Hannah House is full of grace, love, and community. Hannah House means everything to me, and I’ll forever be grateful for all the love, tools, and compassion they’ve shown me.”

    — KATERINA

    “A lesson I have taken away from my recovery has been that I couldn’t get sober on my own. Being at the Hannah House was the best decision I ever made. I so appreciate the love that Tabitha and Jess show for each of us women.”

    — PAULA

    Because there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to changing lives

    Connections that Compound to Help the Whole Woman

    We strive to meet the whole person right where they are and learn what their physical, emotional, spiritual, relational needs are so we can empower them to heal and change their story for the better. Hover over one of our unique pathway initiatives to learn more.

    Genesis

    The Genesis Process is an evidence- and faith-based relapse prevention program, highly effective in helping women restore relationships, discover their identity in Christ, and build healthy support networks.

    Transitional Housing

    A safe, supportive environment for women to apply the skills they learned during their first year at the Hannah House. It helps them strengthen parenting skills, achieve financial independence, and grow in their faith. This phase is a crucial catalyst for long-term recovery, empowering women to thrive independently.

    Parenting Classes

    Many of the women at the Hannah House are rediscovering their role as parents. Our staff provides dedicated support and offers tools and resources to help them successfully transition their children into a stable and healthy environment.

    Budgeting

    Through community partnerships, women are given opportunities to develop financial management and budgeting skills. Additionally, we offer support in helping them save money each month, allowing them to establish a savings account as they prepare to transition from the Hannah House.

    Discipleship

    Discipleship is a key aspect of involvement at the Hannah House, featuring weekly Bible studies and opportunities for individual meetings with our staff to explore the Word of God.

    Case Management

    Provides individualized support, with our team working closely with each woman to establish personal goals, secure employment, attend necessary treatments, and navigate CPS-related matters. Our Case Manager is dedicated to addressing the unique needs of each woman to ensure comprehensive care and guidance.

    Over 250 Women Apply Each Year

    Let’s Expand the Campus & Make Way For More Stories of Transformation

    Join us as we work to cross the finish line of a 10 year dream for the Hannah House. Together, let’s create an incredibly special place for women to connect to the resources they need to heal, thrive and experience the abundance of life that God desires for each of his children.

    Each gift you give helps provide a way out for a woman searching for hope and a brighter future.

    “He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation.
    Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together.”
