Harriet Tubman Women's Shelter is a year-round low-barrier shelter serving up to 175 women each night. Case management and social services are available for residents and include referrals to obtain medical assistance, employment services, and more. Referrals are also available for clients dealing with substance abuse and mental health challenges. Day Program services are offered to residents Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm.

The goal of the Welcome Home Reentry Program is to help people returning to the community from incarceration to find and follow a path to a new life and avoid recidivism. We do this by creating a support network for each person who wants it beginning with a volunteer mentor who provides support and encouragement and holds up a vision for a better life. Together the returning citizen and mentor overcome big and small obstacles on route to finding a job, a safe place to live, and a community of support.

Special Request: Returned citizens who qualify are encouraged to become mentors: your experience is very valuable.
