ABOUT US –
“Rooted in Resilience. Growing through Grace.”
At Greenhouse Living Women’s Center, every woman is seen, heard, and held. We are more than a shelter — we are sacred ground for new beginnings.
Our Mission
We exist to restore the roots of safety, dignity, and purpose in every woman and child we serve.
Our mission is to provide safe, healing-centered transitional housing for women and children — especially survivors of domestic violence, homelessness, or systemic neglect. We offer wraparound care that nourishes the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
Our Story
It started with one mother’s story — and became a movement.
Greenhouse was born from the lived experience of a mother who fled abuse with her children and built a new life from the soil up. That personal journey planted the seeds for a center rooted in compassion, culture, and community. Today, we grow hope for families just like hers — through intentional housing, education, and holistic care..
Our Approach
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in community.
Our Values
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
At Greenhouse Living Women’s Center, our values aren’t just words on a wall — they are sacred seeds we plant daily through every room we restore, every child we nurture, and every woman we welcome. These guiding principles shape our ecosystem of care and remind us what it truly means to grow with love, in safety, and with purpose.
A Sanctuary in Every Corner
Every room in Greenhouse Living Women’s Center is intentionally designed to offer safety, beauty, and belonging.
From lavender-scented bedrooms to a Montessori play space for little ones — every corner is a chapter in a woman’s comeback story.
