AFFP provides information on other housing choices that may be available; this includes relocation.
AFFP staff also refer and accompany women to other agencies for specific needs.
A Program with Privacy
AFFP provides affordable housing to help women and their children stabilize their lives. AFFP has three apartments with different floor plans and sizes for women with children who have experienced domestic abuse.
More Than Just a Place to Live
Transitional housing provides residents with a support system as well as affordable accommodation. Residents are expected to sign and abide by a program contract and attend weekly housing meetings. Women living in transitional housing may also work closely with an advocate on planning the next steps for their lives and the lives of their children. Residents may stay in transitional housing for up to two years.
A Shared Experience
AFFP’s shared housing facility provides a living situation with a positive, supportive household of women and children with similar life experiences.
Program Services and Benefits
Shared housing is a program through AFFP that offers communal living with goals and rules similar to transitional housing.
AFFP’s shared housing facility is a fully furnished four-bedroom home with a large yard for children to play. The home has a large kitchen and living area that is shared by all residents. Women and children share household responsibilities and work together on indoor and outdoor chores.
