Shelter
We opened our first transitional women’s shelter, Susan’s Place, in 2008. We’ve placed over 1,000 women in permanent housing since then. We plan to add more shelters in the future, so that we can continue to bring essential services to those in need and end homelessness. Click for the latest in shelter news.
