Survival

A Safe Place to Begin Again

C & J Foundation offers the first giant step back to survival. Our Program opens the first door of hope for the future by providing housing — a safe place to lay our heads. We believe that safety is not a privilege; it is the foundation upon which every other step toward healing must be built. From the moment a woman walks through our doors, she is surrounded by a community that sees her, values her, and is committed to walking with her.

  • Safe, stable transitional housing
  • Basic needs met: food, clothing, hygiene
  • 24/7 supportive environment
  • Immediate crisis stabilization

Pathways

Graduating Into Full Independence

After the women graduate from our 2-year Program, they may continue to stay at C & J Foundation for 1 year as they progress into the PATHWAYS Program. This transitional phase bridges the gap between program completion and full independence — helping graduates secure permanent housing, maintain employment, and build the financial foundation for a stable future for themselves and their children.

  • Up to 1 additional year of transitional support
  • Permanent housing placement assistance
  • Ongoing employment and financial coaching
  • Alumni community and peer support network
