Program areas at Sarah's Circle

Permanent supportive housing - the organization provides permanentsupportive housing to women who have a disabling condition who have been chronically homeless. Some women in this program were homeless for over a decade before being housed. Each woman in the program is provided with a housing subsidy, intensive case management, and other individualized supportive services to help her improve her health, well-being, and self-sufficiency. This type of housing has been proven to improve outcomes for the most difficult to serve individuals and reduce public costs for jails, emergency rooms, and other crisis services. In 2020, Sarah's Circle implemented a rapid rehousing program. This program, funded via cares funds, is designed to move clients quickly from homelessness to permanent housing.
Daytime support center - the daytime support center is a safe and welcoming community for any woman in need, whether street homeless,doubled up with friends or family, formerly homeless, struggling with domestic violence, or simply low income and in need of community. Services include basic necessities, such as food, bathrooms, showers,laundry, telephone, computers with internet access, and an address for mail; educational and general interest programming on a variety of topics; individualized case management; and housing coordination.
Interim housing - every day the interim housing program provides comprehensive services including shelter and 24-hour access to 50 women who are currently homeless. The goal of the program is to help women move into permanent housing as quickly as possible with intensive case management, housing coordination, and other individualized services tailored to the strengths and challenges of the individual.
