PHOENIXVILLE WOMENS OUTREACH

Phoenixville Women’s Outreach helps homeless and low-income women break the cycle of poverty and dependence and work towards becoming self-sufficient, independent and successful. The House provides transitional housing for women experiencing homelessness and teaches them new skills to help them on their journey towards independence.

The House

The House has five bedrooms, two full baths, two living rooms, a dining room and laundry. It is centrally located in Phoenixville near public transportation, banks, shopping, the post office, Phoenixville Area Community Service (PACS) and downtown.

Process

While we provide safe housing, food and basic needs of life for our residents, each woman will work with our staff to develop an individual plan, empowering her to learn and develop new skills, such as:

• basic life skills
• budgeting
• job re-training
• self-esteem
• coping skills
• problem-solving skills

. . . all with the objective of achieving successful independence.
