WISEPlace is the only Orange County-based nonprofit leading the effort to end homelessness for unaccompanied women. We provide women with safe shelter, counseling and mental health services, case management and addiction recovery, and employment assistance to help rebuild their lives.
At WISEPlace, the women we serve often lack the support system of a spouse, significant other, or children. Last year, 100% of the women we served had experienced domestic violence, nearly half of those actively fleeing. Many are also disabled or chronically ill, and nearly all have incomes well below the poverty line. These and other factors put the women we serve at a greater risk of becoming homeless.
