Our Success

Since 1991, more than sixty women have moved into permanent housing after leaving Elizabeth House.

  • 90% of our residents successfully transition from EHouse into permanent housing and maintain a quality of life modeled at our House.

  • "Graduates" of Elizabeth House have accomplished incredible goals, including: degrees in Substance Abuse Counseling, Licensed Vocational Nursing, Computer Information Management; as much as 12 year’s sobriety; and long term employment within the food service, childcare, and home healthcare industries.

  • One mom and three daughters reunited with their husband/father (who had successfully graduated from an intensive substance abuse treatment program), and the entire family moved back to the east coast to be near their relatives.

  • Another woman was promoted and relocated to Chicago with her two teenage sons, where a new job, house and car awaited them.

  • One of our past residents returned to us as a member of paid staff and others have gone on to work at recovery programs and other service providers in which they were once the client.

  • As an indicator of the progress and wonderful connection past residents maintain with Elizabeth House, many return to us to volunteer, attend celebrations and participate in the life of the House -- all opportunities for us to continue to support them and for all of us to enjoy our ever-growing family!
