Our Mission & Impact Power House Sober Living is a faith‑based nonprofit that supports individuals in recovery by providing safe, drug- and alcohol-free housing and a nurturing sober community as each person rebuilds and reclaims their lives. Since 2018, Power House has served 49 men on their journey toward sobriety, stability, and independence. Our program offers nurturing home environments grounded in Christian fellowship, daily accountability, and personal growth in areas such as financial literacy, career development, and family restoration. Staff and guests partner together to create a supportive, disciplined, and encouraging community where God’s healing work is visible and lasting transformation becomes possible.

In the past year alone, 17 men have experienced Power House’s recovery community. The program is working.
