Supportive Services

Access to supportive services is a barrier to living a healthy, independent life and one that many homeless women surviving domestic violence face. We provide access to services, both on-site and off-site, through referrals. Our staff, contracted employees and partner agencies work together to provide a complete set of services designed to help move our women and children toward a life of self-sufficiency.

For some of our women, just having someone to listen to them can make a world of difference. Our case managers become their partners. Each woman works closely with her case manager to create an achievement plan of short- and long-term goals. We feel this “housing plus” approach to ending homelessness and the cycle of violence, is the most effective way to help our women help themselves.
