Heart House is a six room shelter for single women and woman with children who need to flee a domestic abuse or homelessness crisis situation.
It is our goal to assists our guests in gathering skills necessary to live healthy, independent, and productive lives. Together, guests and the case manager set attainable goals while continually accessing the need for support services and agency benefits such as food stamps, Medicaid, WIC, and housing.
Once the crisis settles down, we access the individual needs of each guest. The three critical parts we look at are mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. The Program Manager works closely with each resident (and that of accompanying children through our Children's Program) to assure an individualized program best suited to immediate and long-term needs. The individualized program directives change throughout the progression through the program. These directives are steps and goals to achieve self-reliance, self-confidence, self-worth, and the ability to successfully leave the shelter with the tools to live independently.
The Women’s Program is facilitated and directed by:
Heart House Executive Director & Program Manager
Pastors, Chaplain-Ministers, & Ministry Leaders
Professional Counselors
Adult Services Professionals
