Where We Serve

 

Saint John’s is for the woman who wants to make the leap. Who will fight the pervasive influence of homelessness, poverty, and abuse. Who will make an empowered decision to rise up and become a productive community member. Who understands, unequivocally, that the decision to create a better life – for herself and for her family – rests entirely on her.

When a family enters Saint John’s 12- to 18-month rehabilitative program, they are immediately encircled with structure, with mental health therapy, with alcohol and drug counseling, with parenting education, with budgeting classes, with healthy relationship training, AND with hands-on employment training. All services are onsite and required. The program is designed to support women in taking responsibility for themselves and their families. Each family receives an average of 675 hours of services each month. 96% of women are placed in non-subsidized employment upon completion of our employment training!
