Crittenton Women's Union - Helping Women and Their Families Achieve Economic Independence

Beacon House

Beacon House provides congregate housing for 10 families. Families receive intensive assessment, case management, and housing search services that is the hallmark of CWU housing programs.

Hastings House AND COMMUNITY HOUSING

In 2006, more than 350 families will seek shelter through the Crittenton Women's Union. During their stay, families develop a plan to help them move toward an economically independent life. A continuum of services is designed to holistically support the healthy development of children as their mothers become housed and self-sufficient.

Horizons Housing Program

Horizons Housing Program provides a safe, stable, and supportive environment for survivors of domestic violence. In addition to housing, Horizons provides a variety of services to assist residents in reaching economic and personal self-sufficiency. Case managers support residents in setting goals and connect them with appropriate services and resources, including education/job search, housing and finances, childcare and school, mental health, and general healthcare. Residents of Horizons Housing Program also attend weekly workshops, which provide support for domestic violence survivors, with self-esteem building, stress management, parenting and child development workshops, and budgeting.
