Description

Eden House will be a two-year residential program for women who have been commercially and sexually exploited. Modeled after Magdalene House in Nashville, Tennessee, Eden House will provide six women a safe and supportive home for two years, free of cost.

Through Eden House, women will receive wrap-around services such as counseling, education, and job training. Since addiction is often connected with prostitution, a twelve-step program is part of the Eden House model.

The program is expected to be highly successful: two and a half years after beginning the program, 72% of the women who join Nashville’s Magdalene House are clean, sober, and no longer working in prostitution.

Eden House is currently in its development stage, and thanks to considerable community support and enthusiasm, the momentum is growing.
