The Julian’s Housing Program for Women & Children provides supportive, transitional housing for women and children escaping the perils of domestic violence. The program serves women over the age of 18 and their children who are homeless as a result of fleeing domestic violence. Clients are accepted on as-needed basis as space becomes available without regard to culture, language, education, socioeconomic status, or religious perspective.
More than just a “shelter,” Julian’s Housing Program is a place to heal from emotional and physical wounds of abuse while acquiring self-esteem and independence. Services provided include: 18–24 months of transitional housing in a safe and confidential location, intensive case management, parenting classes, life skills training, domestic violence prevention education and referrals to substance abuse prevention services.
Three safe and confidential locations serve the San Diego area: Anchorage at Gunnarson House, Sanctuary and Hope.
Funded in part by the Federal Department of Housing & Urban Development and the City of San Diego Housing Commission.
