Their goal is to provide a safe haven in a place that is warm and nurturing. The children need a place to feel safe and comfortable during a time in their lives that often includes the disruption of existing family routines and anxiety of an uncertain future. This not only works positively for young children but is an environment suited for helping the entire family. This project works closely with shelter staff in an effort to bring a stimulating program to families and children and with other community agencies. Interagency efforts help to get youth enrolled in school and parents into work or educational programs.
Bus passes and after-school tutoring are available.
At least 50 homeless families are served each year.
