Flagler Services for Homeless Families
St. Joseph’s Villa provides a variety of services that are collectively called the “Flagler Services for Homeless Families.” All the Flagler services are designed to provide education and developmental and psychological support to enable homeless families with children to become self-sufficient.
There are two major components of the service. The Flagler Home is an on-campus program that supports homeless women and their children. Women live on campus for 12 to 24 months and work with counselors who provide direct support. The Flagler Community Services program provides the same types of support to single mothers, fathers, intact families and intergenerational families living in the community.
All participants in the program receive a variety of services tailored to address each individual’s issues related to self-sufficiency. These services include educational, vocational, psychological, financial and parenting programs. The Stepping Up program (funded by the Philip Morris Employee Community Fund) helps clients develop job skills and find employment with area corporations.
Potential clients must be referred by a shelter or transitional housing program. There is no cost to the client for services provided by St. Joseph’s Villa; the program is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, foundations (including the Flagler Foundation), corporations and individuals.
