We provide a private room for up to 16 families at a time, including healthy meals and snacks each day, clothing, diapers, and other personal needs. Staff is trained to provide parenting support, early childhood education, intensive case management, and referrals to community agencies, all with the goal of mitigating the traumas of homelessness and helping families find stable housing. St. Anne's place served 144 families with 266 children.

supportive housing services provides longer term support to women and families who have left shelters and transitional housing for their own apartments. It includes next step housing's 11 apartments with supportive programming and a range of supportive serives in scattered site housing, where staff visits women and famileies in their own homes to provide continuity and help prevent recurring crisis and vulnerability. Services include, for example, parenting support, assistance with landlords, tenants's rights and responsibilities, improving credit, achieving education and career goals, maintaining sobriety, and improving physical, emotional and mental health. Twenty six women and four children received these services last year.
