The 36-Month Journey
Not a program.
A 36-month journey.
Free housing. Free childcare. Counseling, vocational training, spiritual formation, and a vehicle at graduation. Everything you need — for three full years.
What Makes This Different
Everything you need to rebuild — in one place, for 36 months.
Most programs give you 30 days, a referral list, and a handshake. Davenport's Rest gives you something radically different: a complete support ecosystem with no housing costs, no childcare costs, and up to three full years to get back on your feet.
This isn't charity — it's a covenant. We invest deeply in women who are serious about rebuilding their lives, and we walk alongside them every step of the way. The result isn't just survival. It's thriving independence, rooted in faith.
The Four Pillars
Every dimension of your life, supported.
Housing — Provided
Live on the restorative sanctuary campus at no cost. Your home is covered so you can stop worrying about rent and start focusing on rebuilding.
Childcare — Covered
Single mothers may bring up to four children. Childcare is provided on campus — because your children are part of your restoration, not a barrier to it.
Spiritual Formation
Daily rhythms of prayer, Scripture, worship, and community. Faith isn't a module — it's the foundation everything else is built on.
Skills & Career Development
Practical training, education pathways, and career coaching to help you build real, lasting independence — not just survive the next month.
The Journey
Three years. Three phases.

plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future."

Life on Campus
What does a day at Davenport's Rest actually look like?
Life here is structured but not rigid. Each day has a rhythm — one designed to restore, not exhaust. There's space to breathe, to grow, and to simply be.
The day begins with quiet time — Scripture, prayer, and intention-setting as a community.
Classes, workshops, and coaching sessions tailored to your goals and phase of the program.
Hands-on work on the restorative sanctuary campus — gardening, building, animal care, and more.
Shared meals, group study, mentorship conversations, and time to rest and restore.
Regular sessions on finances, parenting, career, health, and spiritual growth.
"We have never seen a model like this before — because it isn't just a program. It is a complete ecosystem designed for restoration."

The Ecosystem
Four partners. One complete support system.
No single organization can do everything — and we don't try to. Davenport's Rest is surrounded by a carefully chosen network of campus partners, each bringing deep expertise to a specific dimension of the restoration journey. Together, they form something unprecedented: a complete ecosystem designed for lasting change.
Counseling & Trauma Support
Anchored Services
Healing from the inside out requires professional support — not just encouragement. Anchored Services provides licensed counseling, trauma-informed care, and mental health resources embedded directly into campus life. Their team walks alongside every resident from the first week of stabilization through the final months of launch preparation, ensuring no woman navigates the hard work of restoration alone.
- Individual & group counseling
- Trauma-informed therapeutic care
- Crisis intervention & stabilization
- Mental health resources & referrals
Vocational Training & Career Development
RISE
Independence requires income — and income requires real, marketable skills. RISE provides hands-on vocational training that equips women with certifiable expertise in fields that actually hire. Working in seamless partnership with Davenport's Rest, RISE ensures that every resident graduates with a clear career pathway, not just a piece of paper.
- Vocational certification programs
- Hands-on career pathway training
- Job placement support
- Employer network connections
Whole-Person Wellness
Ascent: Wellness & Health
True restoration is physical as much as it is spiritual and emotional. Ascent provides the clinical wellness framework that surrounds and deepens the equine and land-based healing work of Davenport's Rest. Physical health, mental wellness, and nutritional support are woven into an integrated care model — because lasting change requires a body that is cared for, not just a spirit that is renewed.
- Physical health & wellness support
- Nutritional guidance & education
- Whole-person clinical care
- Integrated wellness programming

From financial literacy and budgeting to the Transportation Independence Initiative, Sonship Life equips every graduate with the practical tools and ongoing mentorship needed to thrive after leaving campus. The relationship doesn't end at graduation. It simply changes form.
- Financial literacy & budget planning
- Transportation Independence Initiative
- Housing transition support
- Ongoing mentorship network

Know Someone Who Needs This?
Refer a woman to Davenport's Rest.
Sometimes the people who need this most don't know it exists — or aren't in a place to reach out themselves. If you know a woman who is ready for a new chapter, we welcome referrals from family members, friends, counselors, pastors, and social workers.
Reach out through our Connect With Us page and let us know you're referring someone. We'll take it from there with care and confidentiality.
The Capstone Promise
You leave with the keys to your own future.
We believe that true independence requires mobility. You cannot fully direct your own life if you cannot physically get where you need to go.
That is why every family who successfully completes our 36-month journey is awarded a fully titled vehicle, secured and managed through our Sonship Life network. You leave our campus not just with a renewed spirit and a career — but with the keys to your own future.
Transportation Independence Initiative
A fully titled vehicle awarded to every graduate of the 36-month program — secured through the Sonship Life network at no cost to you.
Fully Titled in Your Name
The vehicle is yours — not a loan, not a lease. It is awarded to you as a graduation gift, fully titled in your name.
Secured Through Sonship Life
Our Sonship Life network manages the sourcing and transfer process, ensuring every graduate receives a reliable, road-ready vehicle.
True Mobility = True Independence
A career, a home, and a vehicle. You leave Davenport's Rest with everything you need to build a life that is entirely your own.
