Supportive Housing

Launched in 2018, the Sojourner House MOMS Supportive Housing Program offers transitional housing and comprehensive support services to families in recovery for up to one year.  At the Sojourner House MOMS Supportive Housing Program participants work to maintain abstinence, mental health stability, gain housing and employment.  The program also works to achieve greater self-sufficiency by working side-by-side with what is most precious to them: their children.

In this program, families live in apartments and receive home-based, intensive case management services.  Supportive Housing at MOMS is on a shared occupancy AGREEMENT, that being said, participants will be sharing an apartment.  In shared housing, an assisted family shares a unit with the other resident or residents of the unit.  The unit may be a house or an apartment.  MOMS staff will pair person’s based on family size, custody/agreements, and other available factors.

Our service philosophy is family-focused.  We want to help a family to achieve its goals by providing safe and affordable transitional housing, support services, necessary referrals for the family, and an atmosphere of community encouragement.
