Our Housing Program
Whether you're seeking housing or looking to support a woman or family on their path to stability, we invite you to take the next step with us.
OVERVIEW
Sheltering Hearts Foundation provides transitional, shared housing for women who are ready to move forward from difficult situations into a stable, supportive environment.
​
We serve both single women and women with children, with thoughtfully structured living arrangements to support comfort, safety, and long term stability.
​
This is not an emergency shelter. Our program is designed for women who are prepared to live in a structured shared-home environment and actively work toward greater independence. Because every particioant's journey is unique, the length of participation is based on individual goals, progress, housing readiness, and program availability.
