Hello FB..
Transitional Housing for Women launch date is in the Summer of 2021
Transitional Housing for Women is a program that caters to the needs of women who are released from incarceration and lack resources to public and social services or women who are still under the control of the Department of Corrections. If you want to spread some kindness to the women in our program, please consider donating items that we will need for their housing accommodations. Please contact our office should you have items you would like to drop off that will support our housing initiative 313-799-2311.
