About Us

Mission

To provide housing and supportive services to homeless and low-income women who want to improve their lives and become self-sufficient.

History

Since 1995, we have provided housing and supportive services to homeless and low-income women who want to improve their lives and become self-sufficient. We are an innovative and experienced local agency making a difference in the lives of hundreds of women and children each year.

Core features of our programs include the provision of safe housing, education, life skills training, and links to community resources to enable women to build the skills they need to achieve independence and provide successfully for their children.
