Mission
The mission of The Cathedral Center, Inc. is to provide a safe environment for women and families while working to end homelessness, one life at a time.
About
The Cathedral Center operates an emergency shelter with the capacity of providing temporary shelter to 32 individual women and 8 families each night - with an additional capacity for 8 women in our cot based overflow shelter during periods of extreme weather. Additional emergency and transitional housing services are provided at a 2nd location, at the Friendship House. This location has the capacity to provide emergency housing services for up to 8 families and 4 women each night. Case management services are provided to those residing in shelter, emergency & flexible housing, as well as those who are temporarily stabilized in the community via our community case management and outreach services. The Cathedral Center measures success based on the accomplishment of goals related to income, housing and personal skills, as well as removal of potential barriers to identified goals. In 2018, The Cathedral Center served 493 households in all of our combined programs - 721 individuals. Our team was successful in aiding 90% of shelter families, 54% of unaccompanied women in shelter, as well as 100% of community families and 81% of community singles to avoid shelter via securing safe housing. In 2018 95% of total households exiting Friendship House left for a safe placement and 51% increased their income through employment and cash benefits. We are proud to report that The Cathedral Center staff has been successful in responding to a higher needs population, while sustaining success in safe placement rates, with 59% of all shelter households leaving shelter to safe placements. As well, 19% of single women and 37% of shelter families increased their income during their stay with The Cathedral Center. Of the families in the community, 20% increased their income - as well as 27% of single women in the community.
