Where women’s lives are transformed.
For good.

Abuse. Divorce. Death of a spouse. Drug addiction. Job loss. There are all sorts of reasons a woman ends up homeless. Of Milwaukee’s 128,000 adults living in poverty, more than half are women. They’re often single moms with young kids. Some are women without children who have no place to turn. Often, they are victims of domestic violence. But for those who find their way to the Milwaukee Rescue Mission, they’ll be welcomed with unconditional love.

At Joy House, guests will find safe shelter, hot, nutritious meals and life-changing help through our long- and short-term Christian-based programs. Women will strengthen parenting skills with the help of our Parenting Coach. Families will learn to adjust to new environments in working with our Family Coordinator. Case Managers will work with women and their children at every step of their journey, offering guidance and loving care throughout their stay.

Women and children will find not only safe shelter at Joy House, but the resources and encouragement to help them to rebuild their lives.

If you or someone you know needs help, please contact us — we’re here for you.
