Organizations Filed Purposes: SINCE 1957, THE WOMEN'S HOME HAS PROVIDED HOUSING AND INDIVIDUALLY TAILORED SUPPORT SERVICES TO HELP PREVENT AND END HOMELESSNESS IN THE HOUSTON AREA. OUR PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY TARGET WOMEN WHO ARE HOMELESS OR VULNERABLE TO HOMELESSNESS. (SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O)MANY HAVE HISTORIES OF ADDICTION, MENTAL ILLNESS, OR BOTH. THROUGH OUR TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM IN MONTROSE AND OUR PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM IN SPRING BRANCH, OUR CLIENTS CULTIVATE THE SKILLS AND SELF-ESTEEM NECESSARY TO OVERCOME LIFE-LONG CYCLES OF HOMELESSNESS AND MOVE FORWARD TO LIVE A HEALTHY, PRODUCTIVE LIFE.

OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD COMMUNITIES THAT STRENGTHEN WOMEN AND SUPPORT FAMILIES AS THEY RECLAIM THEIR STABILITY THROUGH A UNIQUE MODEL OF CARE CALLED WHOLE LIFE. BY EMBRACING THE WHOLE PERSON, THE WOMEN'S HOME PREPARES WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES TO BECOME EMPOWERED AND PRODUCTIVE FORCES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

THE WOMEN'S HOME OPERATES TWO PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING COMPLEXES IN THE SPRING BRANCH AREA - JANE CIZIK GARDEN PLACE AND ADELE AND BER PIEPER FAMILY PLACE. TOGETHER, THESE FACILITIES OFFER 171 UNITS OF SAFE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO LOW INCOME AND FORMERLY HOMELESS FAMILIES IN THE HOUSTON AREA. FIFTY UNITS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FOR FAMILIES WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY HOMELESS AND THE WOMEN'S HOME HAS NINETY PROJECT BASED VOUCHERS FROM THE HOUSTON HOUSING AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO OUR TENANTS WHO HAVE THE GREATEST FINANCIAL NEED. BOTH COMPLEXES OFFER HOUSEHOLDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE SUPPORT OF ON-SITE CASE MANAGEMENT AND ACCESS TO COLLABORATIVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TREATMENT SERVICES.

SUPPORT SERVICES - OUR SUPPORT SERVICES TEAM WORKS DILIGENTLY TO ENSURE OUR CLIENTS OBTAIN THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO ESTABLISH A MEANINGFUL LIFE AND SUCCESSFULLY PARTICIPATE IN SOCIETY. CLIENTS DEVELOP AN INDIVIDUAL REHABILITATION PLAN BASED ON OUR WHOLELIFE MODEL WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THEIR CASE MANAGER. THIS PLAN HIGHLIGHTS GOALS A RESIDENT HOPES TO ACHIEVE WHILE PARTICIPATING IN OUR PROGRAMS. CASE MANAGERS ALSO WORK WITH RESIDENTS TO SECURE MAINSTREAM BENEFITS SUCH AS SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, A GOLD CARD, MEDICAID, AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES. WITHIN OUR TEAM, WE HAVE ONE VOCATIONAL SPECIALIST, WHO HELPS OUR RESIDENTS FIND FULFILLING, FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT. SINCE MANY OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE NON-FELONY DRUG CONVICTIONS ON THEIR RECORDS, OUR TEAM FOCUSES THEIR EFFORTS (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) ON CONNECTING OUR CLIENTS WITH NON-TRADITIONAL EMPLOYERS.

OUR RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM PROVIDES WOMEN WHO WERE FORMERLY HOMELESS BECAUSE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND/OR MENTAL ILLNESS WITH A THERAPEUTIC LIVING ENVIRONMENT THAT REINFORCES THE LIFE SKILLS ACQUIRED THROUGH OUR CASE MANAGEMENT, CLINICAL, AND VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS. LOCATED IN THE HEART OF MONTROSE, THE PROGRAM HAS CAPACITY TO SERVE 50 WOMEN AT ONE TIME AND OFFERS RESIDENTS UP TO 18 MONTHS OF SUPPORT TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE SOBRIETY, INDEPENDENCE, AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY.
