Service-Enriched Transitional Housing
Supportive Apartments for Single Mothers and Children, Offering Stability for Up to Two Years, giving families the time and support they need to pursue an education, find permanent housing, and achieve financial independence.
Program Goals
VHM aims to assist women willing to commit themselves to personal, educational, and life skills goals that will move them out of cycles of poverty to positive growth, self reliance and permanent housing.
We invest heavily in each participant and want to empower them to reach their goals now and in the future.
After-School Enrichment Program
Children are at the heart of a mother's need to change. We are proud to be a dual-generational program. To serve the children in our program, we provide an Afterschool Enrichment Program.
