About Gwen’s House of Grace

Helping people transform & thrive.

Gwen’s House of Grace was created in loving memory of Gwen Watkins a woman whose life reflected faith, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping others. She believed in meeting people where they are, offering grace without judgment, and creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and valued.

That spirit lives on through everything we do.

Who We Are

Gwen’s House of Grace is a nonprofit, peer-led supportive transitional home located in Iredell County, North Carolina. We provide a safe, structured, and substance-free living environment for adults who are committed to rebuilding their lives and moving forward with purpose.

Our home is designed for individuals who are ready to take responsibility for their growth, embrace accountability, and live in a respectful, community-centered environment.

  • We believe that real change happens through consistency, support, and personal responsibility. Our model is simple but powerful:

    • Peer-led environment that encourages accountability

    • Structured living with clear expectations

    • Community support built on respect and shared growth

    • Access to resources that help residents move toward independence

    We provide a foundation not a fix so individuals can build sustainable, long-term success.

  • We envision a community where individuals are given the opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity, supported by a safe environment and guided by grace.

  • Gwen’s House of Grace is a non-licensed, peer-led supportive housing program.
    We do not provide medical care, counseling, therapy, or clinical services.

    Residents are responsible for their own healthcare, recovery, and personal decisions. We support by providing structure, stability, and connection not treatment.
