Mission Statement

To provide a safe haven for vulnerable women with or without children, who are trapped in hopelessness, overwhelmed and challenged beyond their means.

NATIONAL CRISIS:Women and Children Without Housing

 

Women and children without homes are not simply lost faces in a crowd; they are mothers. daughters, sisters, nieces, and friends. They scurry into the frightful night seeking safety and shelter. Without homes such as Sissa’s House, this crisis will persist for generations to come. Whether fleeing from abuse or transitioning from recovery programs, women are left without a home. Sissa’s House addresses this crisis head-on by providing resources to be sustainable. Our best-in-class resources provide a pathway to permanent housing and are supported by professional life skills counseling and professional development that leads towards a lifelong sustainable career. 

Sissa’s House is a safe haven for vulnerable women with or without children who are overwhelmed and challenged beyond their means. Sissa’s House provides structured nurturing environments and homes for women by providing resources to help them become self-confident, self-supporting, and independent. Sissa’s House, with its Community Based Organizational partners, provides housing, life skills training, counseling, independence, and jobs.

We need your generosity to help us help them.
