OpenDoors

The Women & Children's House is OpenDoors' transitional home for justice-involved mothers and the kids they're reuniting with. We've supported more than 120 women since opening in 2023 with the help of our great house manager Sharon Ashley Sharon Ladyruck Ashley! The mothers who land here are doing some of the hardest work there is: rebuilding family relationships, looking for work, navigating courts, all while finding their footing in recovery. Our current capital project is renovating the kitchen and additional bedrooms so we can house 34 more mothers and children. More on that next week.

Meet Julissa. Julissa is rebuilding her life at OpenDoors' Women & Children's House, a transitional home for mothers and the kids they're reuniting with. The house has supported more than 120 women since opening in 2023. "Everything happens for a reason," Julissa told us. Stories like hers are why the W&C House exists, and why we're working to finish the renovations that will give this building a permanent capacity of 34 more people.
