Inn at Broad

Provides housing for female-led single parent homeless families for 12-18 months while assisting and supporting them as they achieve goals and move to permanent housing.

During 2007, the Inn at Broad operated two units of transitional supportive housing within the Broad Street United Methodist Church at 501 E. Broad St. For 2007, the housing component included 2 three-bedroom apartments with all utilities paid without rent to families headed by single women. The facility also includes a housing unit for supportive staff of the INN at Broad. The supportive component for 2007 involved case management, a mentor/companion team of allies, and a community coach for each family while they achieved non-housing goals such as education, work, self-development, etc. This was the beneficial human welfare services provided during 2007. In addition, the transitional component included goal-oriented, but self-directed motivation to secure the next housing objective within twenty-four months.
