THE ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE IS NO EASY FEAT
Providence House is a place where hope lives and transformation begins for families experiencing homelessness. Every day, families often arrive with nothing more than a garbage bag, but they leave with so much more: permanent housing, access to education, stable employment, parenting skills, self-confidence, and an extended support network we call the Providence House Family. The road to independence is no easy feat and may seem chaotic at times, but the outcome is nothing short of remarkable.
Our dedicated team works tirelessly to help these families rebuild their lives. While it’s an enormous task, it is also the most rewarding and crucial work we can do, not just for these families, but for the entire community. By empowering those experiencing homelessness and poverty, we are creating lasting change that reshapes our economy for the better. For 37 years, Providence House has been a beacon of hope in a community grappling with blight, poverty, and despair. None of this success would be possible without the unwavering support of generous individuals like you.

Providence House is an emergency, residential shelter for homeless families (single men, single women, and married couples) with children. The mission of the agency is "Breaking the Homeless Cycle One Family at a Time." Founded by Jean Sayres and Mary Anne Selber of First Presbyterian Church in 1988, Providence House focuses on helping homeless families with children reach their highest levels of self-sufficiency through education, workforce development, and housing.
