The Cathedral Center offers vital support
to women and families facing homelessness, providing a safe environment for rest, healing, and resources.

With a flexible, client-focused approach, we address homelessness at all stages, affirming that dignity and stability are essential for overcoming complex, systemic challenges.

The Cathedral Center provides emergency shelter for up to 28 unaccompanied women and 8 families with children for up to 90 days, along with Flexible Emergency Housing for up to 2 years for 4 women and 8 families. The families served include single mothers, fathers, two-parent households, and multigenerational families.

With a dedicated team of nearly 40 skilled staff members, The Cathedral Center offers a range of comprehensive programs. These include emergency shelter, flexible housing at Friendship House, community case management, and a workforce development initiative known as the Employment Services Program. Through these services, Cathedral Center supports individuals and families as they work toward stability and self-sufficiency.
