Gerard Place provides support and housing for single-parent families that have experienced the pain of poverty, homelessness, and/or domestic/substance abuse. The agency provides individuals with a number of services designed to empower individuals through education, employment, vocational training, life skill classes and counseling. Gerard Place focuses on single parents ranging in age from 18-45 and their children, providing housing and empowering those parents through education, employment, vocational training, life skill classes and counseling. These parents are often victims of domestic violence and or sexual abuse, or are in recovery. And while they have varied reasons for coming to Gerard Place, they all share one goal: they are trying to make better lives for themselves and their children.

Mission Statement: Gerard Place strengthens the community as it empowers individuals and families toward self-sufficiency by providing housing, supportive services, community education and outreach.
