“Over the years christian recovery houses, inc. Faced significant hurdles in increasing rents and securing qualified housing from entities willing to rent to the organization, and/or that would meet the stringent zoning requirements placed on group homes in their opearting market. In an effort to overcome this dilemma, claude e. Blankenship, jr., the founder and president of the organization, has purchased three rental houses in his personal name in order to provide recovery housing at a rental rate of less than 65% of fair market value to the organization. The organization has not had the financial history to secure funds to purchase properties in the past, but was successful in 2017 in purchasing two properties with bank financing as reported on this form 990. Claude e. Blankenship, jr. Donated much of the down payments required to purchase these homes and has personally guaranteed these loans in order to secure them, and continues to receive no compensation from the organization for this guarantee or the services he provides weekly as the president of the organization. The value of the rent is less than the cumulative annual total and less than the singular payment reporting thresholds per schedule l instructions, but this information is disclosed herein out of an abundance of transparency within the organization. The rent has never been increased for over a decade, and comparable rental rates in the market are reviewed periodically to ensure the originally established rent rate remains at a steep discount to fair market value. Recent reviews indicate these rates are approximately 50% of fmv today.”

“Christian recovery houses, inc. Is a not-for-profit half-way house that shares in the rehabilitation of individuals recovering from addiction, alcoholism, abuse and other substantial hurts by providing a structured christian home environment. Christian recovery houses, inc. Strives to aid in the development of believers' personal relationships with the lord and sobriety by providing the education, structure and support necessary to help clientele become more deeply rooted in their faith, involved in their communities, and farther removed from their addictions. The difference between crh and other halfway houses is the belief that true recovery, and the joy that accompanies it, can only be realized through jesus christ. Residents spend time in bible study, prayer and worship on a daily basis, and attend christ centered 12 step meetings and services as a part of their weekly affairs. Residents of christian recovery houses are required to embrace a new model of living, a model that depends not on the weakness of the flesh...but on the strength of the spirit. Crh combines traditional 12 step meetings, in-house christian education, peer accountability, church services, and mentorship to plant individuals deeply in a sober life with christ. The program is comprised of 3 phases, with increasing freedom and responsibility as residents remain in the program and prayerfully grow more mature in their faith and sobriety. Christ and honesty is the foundation of our program, coupled with the belief that true recovery can be and is best achieved in a growing and maturing relationship with jesus christ.”

“Volunteers are a crucial aspect of crh's program. They perform services ranging from sponsoring of residents to landscaping and repairs on the residential properties.”
