Welcome to
the LIT Movement
Where the spiral stops and the transformation starts.
Founded in 2018, The LIT Movement (Living in Testimony) is a faith-motivated nonprofit that provides sober living homes in Cincinnati for men and women overcoming addiction, incarceration, or homelessness.
Transforming Lives
Walking shoulder-to-shoulder with those in recovery, we offer long-term sober living housing, peer-led coaching, and Christ-centered discipleship to help residents not just get clean, but stay free.
More than a program, a movement
LIT is a movement of hope, healing, and second chances. To date, we’ve served over 400 individuals across Greater Cincinnati—offering the structure, support, and spiritual foundation they need to transform their lives from the inside out.

To offer hope and freedom to those bound by addiction, provide them with a safe place to recover, and equip them with the resources needed to transform their lives.

Why LIT?
We surround every resident with the four essentials for a complete transformation: Hope, Housing, Faith, and Jobs.
Hope
From Hopeless to Hopeful
We speak to the broken with grace and truth—creating a space for redemption, rooted in Christ setting the stage for transformation.
