Our Story

House of Eli provides young men a place to call home while being provided services for independent living to become healthy adults within a Christ-centered environment.

After fostering boys and young men in their home over several years and serving as a volunteer at a local juvenile detention center, Tawni Hodge and her husband, Brad, had an idea of creating a home for boys within and exiting in the Juvenile Justice system.

It was through these experiences that she saw the need, and the vision for the House of Eli and thus the home was born.  Since then, House Of Eli has developed a transitional living and vocational training program to address the myriad of needs of our clients. The dream has now become a reality.
