Sims
House is a transitional shelter for women and their children.
It provides a 90-day stay for its residents and serves over 60
guests a year. While at Sims House, residents must find a job,
participate in group and individual therapy with a licensed family
counselor, help with chores around the house and learn about financial
planning and wise money management. The women are also provided
with guidance by a full-time case manager who aids them in finding
permanent housing, jobs and GED programs.
