Who We Serve

Esther's Place is a transition house where women and children who have been displaced can find protection and support.  We are committed to creating awareness around the issues of domestic abuse and homelessness while helping survivors transition back to successful living.

Friends

Our Story

We shelter women who lack familial support. These women are survivors of emotional, financial, physical, spiritual, and verbal abuse.  These women are survivors of sexual crimes. These women are living with deep depression. 

 

Women are more likely to become homeless and remain homeless when they experience any of these factors. The misconceptions and stereotypes that WE place on people who have become homeless are shocking. BUT...when you learn their stories, you will realize that they are no different than you or I. The tragedy that may have led these women to the safe house can happen to anyone.  Our job at Esther's Place is to assess each situation and find solutions to lead them back to a successful way of living.

What We Do

Emergency Shelter

We provide an emergency safe haven for survivors and their children fleeing abusive environments. We believe in safety first!  Survivors are given the assistance they need to be safe and the guidance to rebuild their lives for 90 days. After 90 days, they are either transitioned to long-term housing or independent living.

Long-Term Housing 

Survivors are not always in the position to live independently. Esther's Place allows them to stay up to 12 months in a private a home, with access to tools and resources to continue to build a safe, happy future.
