Sisters Place combats homelessness by providing support services and bridging resource gaps. Our approach integrates anti-oppressive, strength-based, trauma-informed, and housing-first principles to break cycles of poverty. The Supportive Housing Program has served 528 families, 600 adults, and 1,007 children, while the Safe Space Program addresses essential needs, harm-reduction, and informal mental health support in the community. Programming focuses on empowerment, housing, wellness, and advancement, helping families stabilize and secure safe homes.
Our programming encompasses four service pillars, the foundation that our core programs are built upon:
- Empowerment: supporting clients with meeting basic needs
- Housing: supportive housing to provide stabilization, safety, and support
- Wellness: mental and physical health, as well as substance use support and referrals
- Advancement: resources for GED prep, college, trade school, apprenticeships, workforce development, and more
We believe that support needs to be available when families and individuals begin to experience insecurity in meeting basic needs. Resources and referrals provided for those who are experiencing poverty may prevent them from experiencing homelessness.
