About UHC

Under HIS Construction's (UHC) mission is to provide transitional housing, biblical and mental health education, and career development opportunities to the underserved people of New Mexico.
UHC combines spiritual wellness, traditional values, and integrative behavioral health services.
We m
aximize the depth of success for our residents by fostering moral, ethical, spiritual growth and nurture healing from harmful effects of traumatic lifestyles. This is achieved via support though a strategic, dynamic and purposeful plan combined with integrative behavioral health team of professionals. ​​

Under HIS Construction believes everyone deserves an opportunity to build a better life through education, hard work, and responsibility.

We work with those afflicted with addiction and whom society deems to be lost causes by offering a second chance to at-risk men and women who would otherwise be lost to drugs, institutions or death with the end goal of a successful reintegration back to society.

Sr. Chaplain Sonya Lia Cleveland is a visionary leader and the founder of Under HIS Construction, an organization dedicated to empowering underserved women to discover their intrinsic gifts and talents. With a fervent passion for helping women build their self-image, recognize their worth, and foster confidence, Sonya has been a beacon of hope and transformation.
At the age of 21, Sonya's entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish an insurance company and a photography business, marking the beginning of a career devoted to innovation and service. Her journey took a significant turn in 2011 when she felt a higher calling to support women transitioning from incarceration. By providing them with employment opportunities at her insurance company, she played a crucial role in their reintegration into society.
Today, Sonya's mission is more vital than ever as she administers a home for individuals in recovery. She is dedicated to guiding women in entrepreneurial development, helping them chart a course toward independence and success. Known for her dynamic testimony, Sonya is a sought-after speaker throughout the city, inspiring many with her powerful story and unwavering faith.
Sonya's commitment to spiritual and professional growth is reflected in her completion of a three-year ordination seminary program with The Church of God in Anderson, IN. Since 2011, she has served as a Senior Chaplain for The International Fellowship for Chaplains, bringing her compassionate leadership and profound wisdom to those she serves.
Under her guidance, Under HIS Construction continues to thrive, providing a supportive community where individuals can rebuild their lives, embrace their potential, and achieve lasting transformation. Sr. Chaplain Sonya Lia Cleveland's dedication to entrepreneurship, recovery, and spiritual mentorship makes her a true catalyst for change in her community.

Reverend Chris Cleveland serves as the Vice President of Under HIS Construction and is the esteemed founder of New Path Ministries of New Mexico's Men's Discipleship Program. A man of deep faith and unwavering commitment, Chris is dedicated to breaking the vicious cycles of drug addiction, crime, and incarceration in men's lives. Through the transformative power of Jesus Christ, he helps men build better lives grounded in education, hard work, and responsibility, empowering them to become priests of their households and leaders in their communities.
Chris's current role as a successful business and ministry leader might suggest a background of privilege and ease. However, his life tells a different story. With a 30-year career in protection, training, speaking in corrections, and private sector security, Chris's professional journey took a drastic turn due to his struggles with drug addiction. The consequences of his decisions were profound, leading to an abrupt end of his career and a challenging path of recovery.
Yet, it is precisely these detours and trials that have been used by God to shape Chris into a beacon of hope and guidance for others. His own journey through addiction and redemption equips him uniquely to lead others on the road to victory in Christ. Today, Chris serves not only as Pastor of Under HIS Construction but also as a Reverend with New Beginnings Church of God and a dedicated volunteer for Prison Fellowship in New Mexico.
Through his ministry, Chris develops opportunities for men to break free from their past and build new lives of purpose and faith. His work is characterized by a profound belief in the power of Jesus Christ to transform lives, coupled with practical support in education and personal development. Reverend Chris Cleveland's life and ministry stand as a testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative power of God's grace.​
