Our mission is to provide community-based housing and comprehensive services to women, including women with children, to support them in overcoming poverty, homelessness, addiction, trauma, and the effects of incarceration, in order to build lives of stability, and to define and realize goals for themselves and for their families.

Our model is based on the “housing first” approach, through which we connect women and families to housing without preconditions and barriers to entry. We support our tenants through a host of services, including trauma and family counseling and on-site employment/education services.
