A Place to Call Home

Homeless and at-risk women and children are denied the most basic privileges that most of us take for granted. With no place to call "home", they are forced onto cold, inhospitable city streets to fend for themselves. To them, suffering hunger, cold and fear are a part of daily life.

Now there is hope. The Georgia Travis Center is a place that meets the most immediate needs of Santa Clara County's homeless women and children...

...a place that provides a safe and caring haven where women and children can receive support and a variety of other services to help them sustain a more stable living environment...

...a place where children are accommodated with a quiet sleeping room, toys, diapers, formula, snacks, indoor and outdoor play areas...

...a place to enjoy hot noon meals, take showers, wash clothes, receive health care, and participate in recreational activities.

Most guests at the Center are walk-in homeless women with children who have heard of the program by word of mouth or been referred by other social service programs.

In addition to basic services, self-help workshops, counseling and linkages to other community services are provided with compassion and respect. Guests leave the Center with the sense that someone cares.

Homeless women and children have special, urgent needs and these needs are met at the Georgia Travis Center. Guests are nurtured in an attractive, comforting environment that offers peace and unconditional acceptance.

At the Center, women help each other to regain their personal dignity.
