Let’s End Homelessness, Together.

We are the largest sheltering organization dedicated to serving the most under-served and vulnerable population in Greater New Orleans: homeless families.

Breaking the Cycle

We are on a mission to enable women and their children to transition from a life of homelessness and poverty to one of stability and self-sufficiency.

We provide so much more than shelter and meals – all at no cost to our families – we also provide intensive case management during our residents’ stay and for at least 18 months afterwards, children’s programs (after-school and summer), workforce development programs, financial literacy, and more!

The People We Serve

We serve families from diverse backgrounds, including women over the age of 18 and their children, single father led and intact families, and women in all stages of their pregnancy. Many of our residents are homeless for the first time in their lives and we keep them safe and secure in a family-friendly shelter environment and provide tools to help them achieve ongoing stability and success.

Our Families Say...
