Besides providing a residential setting for women and their children, Simon House provides specific strategies and training designed to develop personal and family stability. Its purpose is to enable mothers in crisis to become whole, self-sufficient, and able to obtain permanent housing and employment. Residents are also encouraged to develop coping and parenting skills necessary for a stable, successful, independent family life. Simon House additionally provides material assistance to low-income community families who need food, clothing, diapers, cleaning supplies, personal care products, or some household items.
