Grace House is a donation-supported, non-profit recovery center. We require an intake fee. Residents that do not have an income will be required to apply for Government Assistances that will help pay for your stay.

We do ask each resident to contribute their time during the program to participate in work-therapy activities such as the Country Store, kitchen and greenhouse. These contributions are part of their recovery plan, not a source of profit, and no woman is ever turned away for lack of funds.
