Organizations Filed Purposes:
To provide a safe environment for women and families, while working to end homelessness, one life at a time. The Cathedral Center serves women and families who are homeless or experiencing a housing crisis. Clients served primarily come from the Milwaukee County area, though services are extended to those from the tri-county area - and even some from out of state. Unaccompanied women and families with dependent children (including two parent households, single fathers and single mothers) are provided emergency shelter services, as well as case management services which include a comprehensive assessment, independence planning, supportive services such as mental health and addictions assessments and brief intervention, as well as workforce development services, linkages to community services and outreach to women and families experiencing housing crises.
The Cathedral Center operates an emergency shelter with the capacity of providing temporary shelter to 32 individual women and 8 families each night - with an additional capacity for 8 women in our cot based overflow shelter during periods of extreme weather. Additional emergency and transitional housing services are provided at a 2nd location, at the Friendship House. This location has the capacity to provide emergency housing services for up to 8 families and 4 women each night. Case management services are provided to those residing in shelter, emergency & flexible housing, as well as those who are temporarily stabilized in the community via our community case management and outreach services. The Cathedral Center measures success based on the accomplishment of goals related to income, housing and personal skills, as well as removal of potential barriers to identified goals.
