What We Do
Home of El Roi offers 18-24 months of life recovery to single moms and their children. These mothers may be reuniting with their children, overcoming addiction or dislocation, and/or battling to rise above other circumstances. We walk with each family to help them navigate through the strongholds in their lives and the pitfalls that prevent them from being a nurturing mom, a successful provider while learning to dream again and grow in Christ.
Who We Serve
Home of El Roi is a special project with the Create Foundation (our fiscal agent) designed to serve single moms who are serious about positive changes in their life and building a better home for their children. We will accept single moms with children under the age of 9 and single women who are pregnant. We are not a detox facility or a domestic violence shelter.
Our Story
Home of El Roi is a Christ-centered life recovery program. Providing a sanctuary of hope for single mothers and their children while they receive resources such as parenting, recovery, life skills, and spiritual growth to live independently and build a Godly home. Breaking the generational bonds of poverty and providing support for educational opportunities and discipling mothers to be women of God are key elements of focus for Home of El Roi.
In 2022, the vision for El Roi started to come to life. This residential program will provide housing to approximately 11 mothers and their children. Our desire is to reunite children with moms who have lost custody, to support women through their recovery, and to help them overcome their circumstances.
Home of El Roi provides a safe, loving home to transform women in mind, body, and spirit. Focusing on the child’s recovery as much as the mom’s is important in creating generational changes. We believe destructive cycles can be broken and families can be healed despite their current circumstances if they are willing to accept the changes needed and follow Jesus.
Mission Statement
Home of El Roi’s mission is to provide a long-term, residential and therapeutic Christian community for women and their children to break adverse cycles and rebuild their families. We assist women and their children who are overcoming addiction, abuse, and economic hardship to transform in mind, body, and spirit. Our program focuses on the child’s recovery as much as the mom’s and we provide hands-on coaching for mothers learning to parent their children sober. We believe destructive cycles can be broken, families can be healed, and freedom from addiction can be found through Christ.
