The Women's Home
The Women’s Home builds communities that strengthen women and support families as they reclaim their stability. Since our creation in 1957, we have fulfilled this mi3ssion by providing housing and supportive services to vulnerable women and families in the Houston area. Our programs serve women and families who are homeless or vulnerable to homelessness - many have histories of addiction, mental illness, and trauma. Through our long-term residential treatment program in Montrose and our affordable housing programs and our Mabee WholeLife® Service Center in Spring Branch, our clients cultivate the skills and self-esteem they need to overcome crisis, and live a healthy, resilient life.
