Controller

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Hoving Home is to provide a loving community devoted to rebuilding shattered lives that empowers women to fulfill their God-given purpose.

VISION

We seek to guide our program completers to lead a Christ-centered life, achieve meaningful employment, sustain healthy relationships and engage in community by preparing and empowering them to cross the bridge to lifelong success. We are committed to building an after care extension for women because we know relapse happens most often for those who do not have a safe community to return to and/or the ability to establish economic independence. If  these factors are in place, life-time recovery rates are greater than 90%.
