What do we offer single mothers in crisis?

Our mission is to empower single mothers and their children move from crisis to self-sufficiency. We are a two-year transitional housing program designed to help single mothers overcome the barriers in their lives. We focus on providing safety, stability, a supportive community, and opportunities to reach educational or vocational goals. 

Each new family moves into a furnished apartment. Upon completion of the 2-year program, each graduate takes all the furnishings of the apartment with them to their new residence.
