Freedom House is a long-term, addiction-recovery program that rescues, restores, and redeems the lives of women and their children in a christ- centered, family environment. In july 2006, Freedom House admitted its first residents and began the work of changing lives one family at a time. The primary goal was to provide a safe and loving environment for the residents to heal and restore their lives as they experienced the lords redemptive power and to teach them how to maintain this healthy lifestyle and become strong mothers that could care for their children well. For 19 years, Freedom House has been a successful, twelve-month residential program where women overcome their addictions and reunite with their families. After completing our residential and aftercare programs, our mothers return to mainstream society as productive citizens, free from the addictions that once threatened their lives, and are able to provide an environment where their children can flourish.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
