Erie DAWN provides safe, affordable housing for women who are experiencing housing instability and working toward greater independence.

Our goal is more than providing a place to live. We help women build the skills, resources and stability they need to move into permanent housing and maintain it.

Women in our program can receive support with:

Finding and maintaining housing
Budgeting and managing money
Employment and career goals
Building skills for independent living
Connecting with community resources
Preparing for permanent housing

You set the goals. Erie DAWN provides support, resources and connections to help you move forward.

Transitional Housing
