How It Makes A Difference

We recognize the complex needs of women experiencing poverty and unhousedness. Our basic services here at St. Francis House are supplemented with a secure space where women can find custom programs and pathways to stability. Though women make up only 20% our total guest population, the number of women seeking help at St. Francis House has more than doubled in recent years, making them one of the fastest-growing groups among the unhoused. unhoused women are at especially high risk for violence, and nearly all of those who seek shelter at St. Francis House are victims of trauma, abuse, or rape. Our women™s counselor works with female guests to help them survive, and eventually move beyond, life on the streets.  Providing a book is a small and generous way to support a visitor.
