“The women's housing coalition has been working with homeless women in baltimore for more than 30 years. From our grassroots beginning, we have grown over the years into a reliable and effective force in baltimore's mosaic of organizations dedicated to ending homelessness. We have developed and now manage four multi-family residences that are home for 67 women and 4 families. We lease an additional 27 scattered site rental homes within baltimore city. We provide permanent supportive housing; therefore women and their families can stay as long as they need and desire. However, each year, on average, 20% of the women do move on to more independent housing situations. This may be attributed to the wide array of life skills training we provide. Which include; safety, financial education, art therapy, acupuncture, book club, nutrition class and access to one of two gyms. Each resident also has access to a case manager twice a month to assist with their individual needs. Women's housing coalition typically provides housing and services to approximately 115 women and 40 children annually. Of the 98 women we serve at any one time, 21 have dependent children living with them. In 2015, we served 124 adults and 44 children. 100% of our residents, low-income women who were homeless and have a diagnosed disability, remained stably housed with women's housing coalition. 24 of those adults moved on to independent living in market-rate apartments, subsidized housing or with family and friends. 95% of residents maintained or increased their income, and of those receiving income, 49% increased theirs. Over 70% of our residents have met at least 2 of their goals this year, and 22 women volunteer regularly in the community.”
