tiny home initiative to soar
Committed to Helping Women
To address the housing challenges faced by women who have survived domestic abuse or human trafficking, our primary focus is to offer secure and affordable accommodations through lend to lease tiny homes. In addition, we provide vetted mentorship programs, including SOAR, to establish a supportive network where women can connect with one another, fostering personal and professional growth.
We believe every woman has inherent value and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Our organization is dedicated to purposefully nurturing each women’s individual strengths, talents, and unique contributions to society. By cultivating a safe and nurturing environment, we aim to empower women to unlock their full potential and overcome barriers that may have hindered their progress in the past.
A Safe Environment
What is domestic abuse?
According to the United Nations, “Domestic abuse can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure, or wound someone. Domestic abuse can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender. It can occur within a range of relationships including couples who are married, living together or dating. Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.”
Human Trafficking & Domestic Abuse
There is significant correlation between between domestic violence and human trafficking. Similar to domestic violence, both labor and sex trafficking use force, fraud or coercion to manipulate victims. And many of the factors present in an abusive relationship - such as the perpetrator using isolation, intimidation and their own privilege to harm the victim - also exist in trafficking. Human trafficking is one of the largest criminal industries in the world, and victims of sexual abuse are at higher risk for being trafficked. (Women Against Abuse.org)
Our Purpose
Rebuild
Independence
Reestablish
Stability
Many survivors of domestic abuse may have been financially dependent on their abusers or isolated from support networks. Affordable housing allows survivors to regain control over their lives, build independence, and establish a sense of self-sufficiency.
Transitional housing is typically temporary, and survivors need secure, long-term housing to rebuild their lives. Affordable housing offers a stable foundation from which survivors can plan their futures, secure employment, and pursue educational opportunities.
Reinforce
Security
Amidst the trials and tribulations of life, survivors emerge with tales of courage and triumph. With a roof over their heads and a home to call their own, they offer a haven of security. In the hearts of survivors, secure and affordable housing is a beacon of hope, a sanctuary of safety, and a fortress of resilience.
Tranquil Setting
Nestled in a secluded, forested area in Pennsylvania, our property offers a tranquil and rejuvenating atmosphere for you to unwind and take a deep breath.
