Women’s Services
Catholic Charities operates a variety of programs and services, such as day shelters, employment services, meal programs, counseling, case management and child care, that serve the needs of women in our community. Our goal is to give women the skills and tools they need to lead a life of independence.
- Anna’s House offers transitional and permanent housing for homeless women and their children in Harford County.
- Family Stability Program (FSP), part of a nationwide initiative led by the Siemer Institute and supported by United Way of Central Maryland. FSP assists families to remain housed, supports families so their children remain in the original schools, assists families who cannot maintain their current housing in obtaining affordable housing and provides families with the tools they need to become self-sufficient.
- My Sister’s Place Women’s Center is a comprehensive resource center for homeless and impoverished women and children in Baltimore.
- Sarah’s House is a supportive housing program for homeless families in Anne Arundel County.
