Mission Statement
The Anchor House serves homeless single mothers, and their children, in need of a loving and supportive community.
About This Cause
The Anchor House provides support and assistance to single mothers to help develop appropriate skills to recover from homelessness, trauma, and difficult circumstances. We provide assistance and training to pregnant and single mothers so they may develop the appropriate skills necessary to recover from poverty, homelessness, and difficult circumstances in order to keep their family together. To accomplish this, each woman dedicates herself to a personalized, goal-setting program designed specifically for her family to become self-sufficient. We focus on homeless families who are at risk of losing their children to the foster care system. Each mom at Anchor House is engaged in a personalized goal-oriented program designed to promote hope and self- sufficiency needed to break the the cycle of poverty.
