Serving women who are homeless or at risk

Effective
November 1st, Sarah’s Circle has stepped up to operate a 50 bed
shelter for women located on the North Side of Chicago. It is one of the
largest programs of this type in
Chicago ,
and was in jeopardy of closing permanently.
With
this new Program, Sarah’s Circle will deliver all physical services, such as
shelter, food, clothing, laundry, and hygiene, as well as comprehensive support
services to 50 women 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The goal of the program
will be to provide these services for the women while we work with them to find
permanent housing, and then, once they are housed, provide services to ensure
housing retention. While this is a big step for Sarah’s Circle, it is at the
core of our mission, and with your support, the program will allow us to help
even more women achieve permanent housing, employment, better health, and
connections with family and friends.
Please check back later for more details.
Sarah’s Circle is a non-profit agency with a mission of serving women who are homeless or in need of a safe space. Located in Chicago’s Uptown community, Sarah’s Circle has provided support for thousands of women over the course of its 30 year history.
Today, Sarah’s Circle offers several services – comprehensive physical services, permanent supportive housing, clinical services, a network of resources, and a community – to over 900 women a year who are affected by homelessness. We encourage women to empower themselves by rebuilding both emotionally and physically; realizing their unique potential as women.
