Redwood Family Center: A 75 bed facility providing a clean and sober transitional shelter to homeless women and their children.

Experience has shown that individuals who have completed a residential program of recovery or have stabilized in Alcoholics/Narcotics Anonymous need to live in a clean and sober environment in order to maintain sobriety and recovery. Many people who leave organized programs do not have a home to go to nor can they afford individual housing which is recovery conducive. Cooperative housing offers a bridge to independent living.

Supportive services allow residents the opportunity to address obstacles which contribute to homelessness. In collaboration with social service and non-profit agencies in our community, GED classes, mental and physical health services, job training, substance abuse prevention, basic life and parenting skills training and other needed services are provided. Staff meets with participants on a regular basis to monitor progress and determine what needs to be accomplished prior to successful completion of our program.

The ultimate goal of this program is to provide clients with the life skills necessary to become self-supporting members of society.

The Santa Fe Project: This 80+ bed facility will provide emergency winter shelter to homeless families with minor children. The project will be open from December 1, though March 31. Families will work with a case manager to work towards the goal of moving into permanent housing.
