Laura's Home

You're Here:

Laura's Home serves women and children who are in-crisis, often dealing with multiple issues in their lives and is similar to our Crossroads Men’s Crisis Center.

Sometimes they are referred to as “homeless” but their situation is always more complex than simply not having a place to sleep indoors. We serve as a bridge to the local church and community by providing safety, security and stability to some of the most vulnerable in our society, and provide hope that their future does not have to be the same as their past.

Last year, Laura’s Home provided 56,379 meals and 38,082 nights of shelter to 532 women and 374 children in crisis. We helped 160 women and 109 children as they worked through our 180-day Long-term Program.

On June 18, 2011, we celebrated 57 women who proudly graduated at our Crisis Services Commencement Ceremony.

	Father Absence Affects the Lives of Women and Children The absence of a father is the single most significant predictor of developmental problems in a child’s life. The social and financial impact of father absence in our community is immeasurable. Join us on April 18, 2012 at the "Where's Papa?" Symposium to learn more about it and what can be done. This event is free but reservations are required. Father Absence Symposium
