Description

providing temporary shelter to homeless women with children who desire the opportunity to gain self-sufficiency and long-term stability. Our program, Ruth’s WARM House, offers cost-free family oriented shelter for up to 7 families at one time. The program provides the support system and structure necessary for each family to regain their stability. Some of the supports include minimal transportation, meals (as available), community referrals, basic amenities, mentors, parenting classes, life skills training, financial management, and other trainings that assist in their transition from homelessness to a future of hope. Families may participate in the program for up to six months but may transition out of residential services as early as one to two months. Additionally, WARM offers aftercare for all families following residential services. Aftercare staff provide in-home case management and support that build off of the residential service for up to 12 months following each family’s exit.
