SERVICES
The House
The House is a transitional housing program for women in the greater Phoenixville area. The House offers a safe and supportive home where women can gain the skills and confidence needed to plan for their future. While at The House, women take part in financial stability coaching and case management services. Focus is on connection to resources, goal setting and attainment, building basic life skills and coping skills.
At The House, women are required to maintain income, participate in a financial stability coaching, be free of drugs and alcohol, and be able to live with others in a shared housing environment. To be successful at The House, women need to be able to commit to their financial, physical, mental, and social wellbeing and to do the work necessary to achieve their goals. A savings match is available through our friends at Phoenixville Federal Bank & Trust.
Women are invited to participate in cost-covered mental health services through our partner agency Women’s Resource Center.
