About Us:
In 1995, the Sisters of Mercy, the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Benedictine Sisters came together to address a critical need in our community – transitional housing for homeless women and children.

Faced with problems like domestic abuse, catastrophic medical bills or loss of employment, these women need time to get back on their feet; yet the length of stay in most emergency shelters is limited to three or four months.

By offering a two-year program of supportive housing, case management, mentoring and advocacy, Erie DAWN helps homeless women transition back into independence by helping them to acquire the tools and resources needed for self-sufficiency.

Since 1995, Erie DAWN has provided services and housing for over 170 women and 260 children.

Erie DAWN is funded by financial and in-kind contributions from individuals, landlords, businesses, churches, civic organizations, nonprofit organizations and government agencies.
