Transitional Housing/Shelter

Communal supportive housing program at two secured and structured locations that provides a safe and stable environment for up to 14 adult women (18+ years old) and their children, including boys up to age 12, who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Each family has a private bedroom, while common areas such as the living room, kitchen, and bathrooms are shared—fostering supportive relationships that help restore trust and encourage personal growth. This is not emergency housing, it is a longer-term structured program designed for individuals who are ready to work toward stability and independence.

Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm.

Women 18 and up and their children, including boys up to age 12, who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless for any reason. The appropriateness of the program for each individual's needs is determined by an assessment.
