| Description |
Established in 1974, Warren Village was the USA's first federally subsidized transitional housing program for single-parent families. Warren Village provides three integrated programs: the Warren Village Housing Program includes 93 apartments; the Learning Center offers quality early childhood education for 199 children using a multi-cultural and gender-fair curriculum developed for at-risk urban children; and the Family Services Program provides comprehensive case-management, vocational assessment, evening life-skills classes, child enrichment activities, mentors, and resident leadership opportunities. Warren Village is developing a Technical Assistance arm which will be responsible for assisting other organizations serving low-income families. |
| Goal / Mission |
The goal of this program is to help motivated low-income single-parents move from public assistance to self-sufficiency through affordable housing, quality child care, counselling, education and training. |
| Results / Accomplishments |
In its twenty-four year history, Warren Village has helped more than 2,200 single-parent families move toward self-sufficiency. Warren Village graduates have become home owners, college graduates, working professionals and community leaders.
