Women's Shelters

Every year, Rosies Place meets thousands of poor and homeless women with thousands of unique needs and challenges.

Some can be addressed immediately and some will require a long-term process.

Below is a summary of their constellation of programs for poor and homeless women. 

They offer free meals 365 days a year:

• a food pantry with non-perishable items and fresh produce
• Showers, laundry and lockers
• overnight beds for up to 21 days
• and providers who offer health and wellness care

“Rosie's Place was founded in 1974 as the first women’s shelter in the United States. Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity and find security in their lives. ”
