From Crisis to Self-Sufficiency
Since 1957
The Women’s Home is a multi-ethnic, non-denominational, non-profit United Way agency. Founded in Houston in 1957, The Home’s reputation has grown alongside its facilities in both size and stature.
Today, The Home’s residential buildings include a dormitory, four transitional homes, “A Room of Her Own” apartments and a non-denominational chapel, the heart and soul of the residential block. All are located with easy access to support services and transportation routes. In addition, two commercial buildings house admissions, administration, volunteer services, the Life Learning Center and the Cottage Thrift Shop.
Within the Life Learning Center, The Home’s clients participate in comprehensive clinical, vocational and chemical dependency programs. They also receive job training in the on-campus Cottage Thrift Shop and administrative offices.
Years of research, professional collaboration and evidence-based practice are enabling The Women’s Home to become a nationally recognized model of excellence in residential rehabilitation.
Testimonial
"How vital is The Women’s Home? Within our region there are 19 facilities for men that are approved by the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services. There are only five for women. Here at The Home, women escape cycles of homelessness, drug addiction and mental illness, receiving room and board, professional counseling and job training. When women complete our program, they are equipped mentally, emotionally and fiscally to rebuild their lives and reestablish relationships with their loved ones. We believe nothing is more important."
