Lydia’s Home Level II Recovery Residence
Our six-bed Recovery Residence for women in the City of Green is called Lydia’s Home. Lydia’s Home is our practical and spiritual response to the illegal opioid, fentanyl, and methamphetamine crisis in Ohio. Here, women recover from substance abuse and incarceration through a 60-day Life Formation Study Series, financial literacy training, and workforce readiness.
Outreach & Mentoring Programs
Our Outreach & Mentoring programs share God’s love with returning citizens and connect them with faith communities. Having a trusted mentor helps restore a sense of personhood. Research has found that most former offenders who are mentored will not commit another crime.
