Programs
Light House
The Light House serves women who are struggling with trauma, substance abuse disorders, mental health disorders, domestic violence, homelessness or other cyclical crisis situations that require stabilization. We serve up to 10 women (and their children) at a time in this 9-to-12-month transitional housing program.
Beacon Walk-In Support Center
At our women’s support center, vulnerable women who may be struggling with life-controlling issues are welcomed in a safe, supportive environment. At Revive, they can choose from various creative activities, access personal care items, participate in small group discussion classes and resiliency programs, and receive help in connecting to community services and resources.
Beacon on Brook Street
Emergency Shelter for Women and Children
Beacon on Brook Street Shelter for Women is a low barrier homeless shelter. We are unique in that we allow single women as well as women with children in our shelter. Low barrier means that we don’t require criminal background checks, income verification or identification and we don’t have sobriety requirements. We want women experiencing homelessness to come as they are and we will provide a safe place and daily support focused on overcoming those obstacles that have gotten in the way.
Street Outreach
A team of trained volunteers reaches out to those who are vulnerable to exploitation through setting up tables in a local park and walking through the neighborhood, meeting people where they are. We seek to make connections and build relationships through providing drinks and snacks and offering prayer and encouragement, as well as gift bags filled with personal care items, to at-risk women.
