Transitional Tips:Hope Haven Transitional Shelter for WomenDoris MitchellThe Hope Haven Transitional Shelter Women's Program provides shelter, room and board, counseling, and referral services to homeless women. The shelter offers stability in housing while allowing the residents to offer emotional support to each other. It is respectful of residents' autonomy and provides as close to a real-life scenario as possible. Other services include direct resource referral for housing, physical and mental health care, education, training, employment services, and case management. This program accepts homeless women 18 years and older who are not currently abusing drugs or alcohol and desire an opportunity to transition back into the community as productive, responsible, and independent women. They provide all meals. The cost is $400 per month, and the director is willing to work with women with financial hardships due to being recently released from jail or prison. The home is located at 900 Alabama Street, Vallejo, CA. Send all inquires about joining this program to: Sharon T. Spencer, President/Executive Director Hope Haven Transitional Shelter, Inc. 164 Robles Drive #A7 PMB 178 Vallejo, CA 94591 707-554-9781 or 707-712-2563 Hopehaven123@AOL.Com Rosewood House Transitional Housing Rosewood House opened in October 2003 to help women transition from treatment to making it on the outside. They target women from jails and prisons in order to help them build the life skills needed to be self-sufficient on the outside. The program offers sustained living for women while they receive job training, begin new careers, work on family reunification and reestablish financial viability. Rosewood House will provide a limited aftercare program as well as classes, group sessions, recreation programs, access to AA, NA and other 12 step programs, and spiritual growth opportunities. The cost of rent at this home is a very low 20% for your income as a monthly fee, once the resident finds employment. No food is provided, so residents must access local food banks to accommodate their daily meals. The home can accommodate 6 women and has a waiting list, so that it is necessary to contact Susie Foreman well in advance of your release so that you may be placed on the waiting list.
