| Servant's House is an enhanced
emergency housing program designed to provide emergency housing and
supportive services to single mothers with children, especially those
women who have experienced domestic violence. The program has the
capacity to house approximately 24 families (depending upon family
size/composition). Women and their children have access to all of TPCS
programs and services as well as access to an array of outside
supportive services through well-established collaborative agreements
with these agencies. On-site services include access to the Food and Clothing Pantry, individual counseling services offered by Family Connections, Inc., a weekly Women's Group, and a range of scheduled recreational activities. Particular emphasis is placed on helping the women work towards identifying those barriers and challenges that keep them at risk for continued homelessness and unemployment. As well, significant emphasis is placed upon assisting our women who have substance abuse and/or mental health issues obtain the needed services to move towards physical and emotional wholeness thereby giving them the opportunity to address those gaps which have kept them disadvantaged and disenfranchised. |
