Helping Women
To address the housing challenges faced by women who have survived domestic abuse, our primary focus is to offer secure and affordable accommodations through lend to lease tiny homes. In addition, we provide vetted mentorship programs, including SOAR, to establish a supportive network where women can connect with one another, fostering personal and professional growth.

Our organization is dedicated to purposefully nurturing each women’s individual strengths, talents, and unique contributions to society.By cultivating a safe and nurturing environment, we aim to empower women to unlock their full potential and overcome barriers that may have hindered their progress in the past.

Rebuilding Independence
Many survivors of domestic abuse may have been financially dependent on their abusers or isolated from support networks. Affordable housing allows survivors to regain control over their lives, build independence, and establish a sense of self-sufficiency.
Reestablishing Stability
Transitional housing is typically temporary, and survivors need secure, long-term housing to rebuild their lives. Affordable housing offers a stable foundation from which survivors can plan their futures, secure employment, and pursue educational opportunities.
Maintaining Stability
Amidst the trials and tribulations of life, survivors emerge with tales of courage and triumph. With a roof over their heads and a home to call their own, they offer a haven of stability. The magic of such quarters extends beyond mere shelter; it is a refuge of safety and serenity and a fortress of hope amidst the tempests of life In the hearts of survivors, secure and affordable housing is a beacon of hope, a sanctuary of safety, and a fortress of resilience.
Tranquil Setting
Nestled in a secluded, forested area in Pennsylvania, our property offers a tranquil and rejuvenating atmosphere for you to unwind and take a deep breath.
A home to call your own
Every tiny home is intentionally and beautifully designed, ready for you to add your personal touch and make it yours!
Mobile Advantage
Each rent-to-own tiny home has the unique ability to be easily moved once the home is paid for. When life changes - as it will! - you can keep your investment and take it where ever you go!
Empowering Survivors
We are a dedicated group of women committed to breaking the cycle of abuse. We firmly believe that every woman deserves a safe and stable home where she can thrive and create a better future for herself and her family.
