| A support system to always count on…
Graduating from the Transitional Housing Program is a significant accomplishment, but it is only the beginning of a long journey for Sojourner House women.
During their stay at Sojourner House, they worked hard. They continued in their recovery programs for chemical dependency and/or mental illness, moved toward family unity, and gained critical life skills to aid them in the future. Homeless when they arrived, they leave Sojourner House with a personal goal plan and move into one of Sojourner House’s 40 supportive housing apartments or safe, affordable housing in the community.
Sojourner House maintains strong ties with graduates who choose to move directly into the community and provides long-term support through its Outreach Program. Serving as a surrogate family, Sojourner House walks side by side with each woman on her journey to self-sufficiency.
“I continue to stay connected to Sojourner House through their outreach
services and holiday activities. I stay connected because Sojourner House
has been an essential part of my success. My spirit is renewed in a special
way every time I visit.” |
