Our Vision
Unity Housing for Women and Children strives to service many women and their children within our community with the resources we provide – every individual is important to our organization. We are here to serve and uplift everyone that comes through our doors; we do not discriminate against any individual. Unity’s drive is to provide services that are concentrated on serving those less fortunate or needing a new vision on life. Addressing the greatest needs of our community, we strive to assist all women and their children to lead a more fulfilling life.
Unity Housing for Women and Children is committed to serving our community with compassion, empathy, trust, honesty, and loyalty, while acknowledging the diversity in unity. Unity is key to reuniting families, and bringing awareness to change the lives of domestic violence survivors, as well as those incarcerated and who have fallen on hard times.
