Transitional Housing Units

NEWC’s decision to expand its community-based programs to include transitional housing for chronically homeless single women suffering mental illness was an innovative approach to service delivery in mental health services. Potential tenants are selected from NEWC clients and women referred by agencies in the Selkirk Avenue area. Currently, NEWC operates two units, consisting of separate bedrooms with ensuite baths and refrigerators, linked by a shared living area and a fully furnished common kitchen.

In 2006, N.E.W.C. opened the Betty Berg House, a transistional housing facility.
