Ascension Place, Inc.
Description
Ascension Place and St. Anne's Place offer transitional housing and emergency shelter to women and families in crisis. Through basic needs services, case management, support groups and aftercare, we help women achieve stability and independence. At St. Anne's Place, we offer intensive case management, support groups, an educational and recreational children's program, housing referrals and extensive life-skills programming designed to help women make their way back to stability after becoming homeless. Aftercare services are available for families that would benefit from additional support.
Ascension Place, our first program, provides a safe environment for women who are transitioning to long-term stability while recovering from the effects of homelessness, mental illness, chemical dependency and violence. The healing process includes case management, support groups, access to a wide range of wellness programming including creative outlets.
For women who have benefited from living in community at Ascension Place and are ready to resume permanent housing; we have opened Next Step Housing. An 'intentional community' apartment building, tenants may access supportive services at their descretion. They work together to form long-term support systems that increase the strength of the wellness that they have acheived at Ascension Place.
