The Women’s Home
Overview: (http://www.thewomenshome.org/who-we-are/quick-facts.html)
- The Women’s Home is a multi-ethnic, non-denominational,
non-profit United Way agency that serves women who have experienced
homelessness because of mental illness, abuse or addiction.
- Founded in 1957, we have a history of helping women
rebuild their lives that spans over 50 years.
- Our unique WholeLife program addresses six areas of
wellness-emotional/mental, physical, fiscal, social, vocational and
spiritual and provides an opportunity for women to create a balanced and
rewarding life.
- The Women’s Home is a recognized model of excellence in
long-term residential rehabilitation and is one of only five programs for
women in the region approved by the Texas Department of Assistive and
Rehabilitative Services.
- Nearly 90% of women who participate in our program for
six months or longer leave with income and housing. That success rate is
almost double the industry standard.
- The Women’s Home is a training site for psychiatric
residents from Baylor College of Medicine as well as graduate and
undergraduate students from the University of Houston campuses, University
of Texas School of Nursing, Our Lady of the Lake University and Texas
Southern University.
