Doorways for Women and Families

By Lara | Project Leader

Thank you for supporting Doorways for Women and Families! During these challenging times we are looking to raise the much needed funds to support our services. We are so grateful that you chose to support us! We have made much progress in raising funds to support our language line.

We provide 24/7 shelter and housing through a Safehouse Shelter (11 beds), Family Home (21 beds), and HomeStart Supportive Housing Program serving 20 households at a time. We also provide support and advocacy, financial literacy, children’s services and a range of essential life skills promoting healthy, vibrant living. Doorways strives to end homelessness and family and intimate partner violence by offering safe shelter and housing, life-changing support services, and community advocacy. In the last year, Doorways served 256 parents and children in its three residential programs, and another 1,656 through our 24/7 domestic violence hotline and court advocacy services. Doorways conservatively estimates needing at least $15,000 in new funding is needed just to pay for telephone translation for our three core programs this year. We still have more to go!
