Barrett House
Barrett House was founded in 1985 as an emergency shelter for women and children experiencing homelessness. In 2006-2007, our shelter provided 20,739 meals, 6,913 bed nights and 1,194 hours of case management for 597 women and 145 children. In addition to receiving emergency shelter each woman works with a case manager to set short and long term goals. Clients receive assistance and information regarding health care, childcare, employment, substance abuse treatment and mental health care. Our state-of-the-art facility offers comfortable beds in semi-private rooms; each woman and child is assigned their own bed, closet and nightstand. There are three family “suites” with attached baths for mothers with three or more children. Two meals are served each day in addition to a sack lunch, and the women are provided with toiletries and clothing. Barrett House has a family room, library with computers, laundry facilities and indoor and outdoor play areas for the children. Barrett House is the entry point for our other programs.
