The Dorothy Day House seeks to keep families together while experiencing homelessness. Families typically stay for 4-6 months and during that time, we help them find a job, reliable transportation, and an affordable place to live. Dorothy Day House staff works directly with families to get back on their feet by enrolling their kids in school, providing food and toiletries, providing parental classes and more.
