Safe Houses for Women and Children
Healing the Lives of Men and Women with Children in Mid-America
The Safe Houses for Women and Children are a unique residential program that allows women to find the healing they need, even while raising their children. Safe Houses for Women and Children places women and children in one of our numerous safe houses on an emergency basis. NLEC provides a safe place to sleep, as well as hot meals, clothing, hygiene products, and access to warm showers each night. Women who come to NLEC are looking for a new life, and we are here to support them.
Women also have the opportunity to join our 1 year program that allows women to find the restoration and healing they need to be successful. The Safe Houses for Women and Children is built on Biblical principles, leading to lasting, transformative change.
In addition to meeting basic needs such as food and shelter, Safe Houses for Women and Children provides connections to a variety of resources such as specialized classes, parenting and life skills training, therapy, spiritual guidance, and skills-building geared toward helping residents avoid abusive relationships.
