Myriam’s House provides shelter and services to assist single indigent women in identifying and combating personal, psychological, financial and societal barriers. The homeless population served is often hard-to-reach unaccompanied homeless women who are long-term homeless, under-educated, ex-offenders, prostitutes, substance abusers and/or victims of domestic violence desiring a different way of life. Women are often not readily employable. Under the Supportive Housing Program, the aim of the project is to promote and stabilize these women into becoming self-sufficient in order to acquire permanent housing. The Residential Outreach for Women Program (R.O.W.) provides expanded services to homeless single women for 14 weeks as they receive essential vocational assessment, career counseling, job training, placement and stabilization. The program serves 27 women a year who are provided with 2 weeks of financial support while searching for a job. SHP funds provide for assistance with supportive services expenses. Residential services provided under the SHP include, but are not limited to: “start-up” food and clothing, counseling, development of life management skills, assistance with obtaining a GED, vocational assessment, substance abuse recovery support, and locating permanent housing. Grant funds were awarded under the 2000 SHP for three years of operation and delivery of services.
