Making the difference
Urbean Cafe
Workforce Development
Urbean Cafe has contributed more than $10 million to the local economy, saved taxpayers more than $5 million, and given more than 168 clients meaningful work since 2011. Employees give back to the community through stable work, residency, and payment of restitution.
Lydia’s Home Level II Recovery Residence
Lydia’s Home is a 6-bed recovery residence in the city of Green. Lydia’s Home is our practical and spiritual response to the illegal drug crisis in Ohio. Here, women recover from substance abuse in a safe home environment through a comprehensive program.
Outreach & Mentoring Programs
Our Outreach & Mentoring programs share God’s love with returning citizens and connect them with faith communities. Mentoring restores a sense of personhood. Research has found that most former offenders who are mentored will not commit another crime in the future.
