The goal for the Hoving Home is for every woman who enters our facility to complete the program, experience spiritual renewal, develop a high level of social capabilities, gain employment skills, reunification with their family and become productive members of society.

The Board of Directors is developing a three-to-five year Strategic Plan concentrating on five key areas: 1. Operational efficiency 2. Building network of strategic relationships (volunteers, donors, board members) 3. Base of solid programming (take strengths and go the next level) 4. Story telling in both emotional sense and data-driven sense5. Building the bridge to sustain sobriety and a christian life lived in community (Aftercare)

The Walter Hoving Home has 50 year's of experience in developing a program that completely transforms the life of the women who come to us from many different walks of life-many directly from prison and off the street. Our diverse and multi-level, skilled staff have years of experience in helping women with life-controlling problems. The Hoving Home is widely recognized as an effective residential-care facility and receives referrals from many sources including courts, judges, parole officers, probation departments, police, clergy and churches.

Our program is based on individual needs and life requirements. The Hoving Home employees use both quantitative and qualitative methods to determine the effectiveness of the Home. Questionnaires are administered to each woman who stays a minimum of thirty days in the program to ensure that each one of their needs is being addressed in a timely manner and encourages suggestions that will optimize their experience during their stay at the Hoving Home. The Walter Hoving Home aims to conduct, process, and give outcome evaluations to measure achievement of program goals, methods, activities, and anticipated results. Hoving Home staff monitor the women's' progress weekly during the course of their program. Staff meet with the women on a weekly basis to review progress towards achieving their goals and completion of the program. To ensure our goals are met, staff meetings are held to evaluate and measure the student's progress. Weekly meetings with diverse and multi-level, skilled staff, center on discussions of each woman's progress, as well as their individual needs as they make their way through the program. Every quarter a woman's progress is evaluated which consists of her residency, behavior, character growth, school grades, job assignments, subsequent achievements, and milestones which are charted and measured. If the woman is progressing well in the program, she's given increased responsibilities that will move her closer to achieving her personal objectives.

Program evaluation continues to be an important part of the Hoving Home. Outcomes are documented along with questionnaires and are continuously used to critique and improve the protocols of the Hoving Home. The Hoving Home has developed a successful comprehensive curriculum that has been proven to help women transform their lives. Our goal is to continue to make improvements as needed.
