New Journey Program
This long term transitional housing program serves women and their children who are fleeing domestic violence. We provide safe housing in apartments that are fully furnished in confidential locations throughout San Diego County. We have a long term partnership with Soroptomist International of Poway and Ranch Bernardo.  The organization subsidizes and fully furnishes several units provided by Community Housing Works.  Soroptomists also mentor the women during and after they leave the program. We support families recovering from their trauma by providing individual and group counseling, case management, health care, food, and other critical support services. They learn how to identify red flags in toxic relationships, provide emotional support to each other, rebuild self-esteem, and set healthy boundaries leading to creating a non-violent family unit. Women are empowered to make positive lifestyle changes to transition to a self-sufficient healthy, independent life which includes increasing income and moving to permanent housing when they leave the program.
