Shepherd’s Door

Breaking the generational cycle of homelessness

The fastest growing group of homeless people consists of families with children. Today, families make up about 36% of the people who become homeless. The typical homeless family consists of a young unmarried mother with two or three small children. Many of these young mothers have experienced violence and most lack in work skills, access to child care or access to jobs necessary to support their families.

The focus of Shepherd’s Door is to break the generational cycle of homelessness and to provide a way to generational healing. All of the women in the program and many of the children have experienced childhood abuse or trauma. By providing a long-term program individualized to each woman and child's needs, families are able to grow and break the cycle of generational trauma. Contact us to learn more about Shepherd's Door.
