Home, when there is no home...

Our mission is to provide homeless families and women shelter and supportive services in order to facilitate a transition to a stable living environment.

Families who seek shelter have no financial resources or supportive network. Mitigating factors of family homelessness include loss of employment, lack of education, untreated medical and/or mental health issues, substance abuse and addiction, past traumas and family violence.

Often homeless families enter shelter with just the clothes on their backs.
