General Information:
A Safe Home for Women and their Children
The Village of Hope, in Salisbury, Maryland, is a not-for-profit, non-denominational organization that provides a transitional home for at risk women and children.
The Village works in partnership with residents and their families to build skills and abilities that will empower them to lead self-sufficient, productive lives.
Women accepted into our TRANSITIONAL LIVING program come from all walks of life. Often, they are caught in a self-perpetuating cycle of homelessness, domestic violence, alcohol and/or drug abuse and financial deprivation. The program offers up to two years of residency in one of 14 furnished apartments located in the Village of Hope residence building. Working with a Social Worker, clients are required to establish a written, time-oriented plan for achieving self-sufficiency.
Through various federal and state government programs, as well as funding from non-profit agencies, residents are provided opportunities to attend classes at Wor Wic Community College, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Salisbury University or other educational facilities in order to achieve their goals and become productive members of society.
The Village of Hope is widely recognized as an outstanding Delmarva charity. We are proud to serve the Lower Eastern Shore and welcome you to get involved. Click here to find out how you can help.
The Village of Hope's Steps to Success Transitional Living Program offers up to two years of transitional housing for women. We accept women ages 18-62 with dependent children 14 and under or without children. Any woman who is homeless or in danger of becoming homeless can be referred by an agency such as the Life Crisis Center, the Christian Shelter, the Department of Social Services, or another local agency and apply to our program. Once accepted to the program, they work closely with our Case Managers and other program staff who give them the tools and resources they need to get back on their feet.
The program includes parenting classes, life skills education workshops, on-site counseling provided by therapists from Eastern Shore Psychological Services. Each fully-furnished apartment offers privacy, serenity and security.
