Every day, women leaving treatment need a safe place to continue recovery. Without it, the risk of relapse is high. Your support can help turn relapse into recovery.
Why this matters
Treatment is the first critical step. The most fragile part of recovery begins after someone leaves treatment.
Without housing stability, many lose the progress they worked so hard to achieve, resetting the clock back to where they began.
Our mission

We bring together safe housing, recovery support, employment pathways and community partnerships to help people regain stability and transition toward independent living.

Tara Homes has truly been a blessing in my life. After leaving rehab, I didn’t just need a roof over my head — I needed a place where I could feel safe, supported, and understood. This house gave me that, and so much more. Once I started to heal physically, I began to feel a shift emotionally and spiritually. For the first time in a long time, I felt peace. In just a few short months, my whole outlook has changed. My health has improved, and I’ve found a strong support system that lifts me up when things get hard. The program director’s mentorship and encouragement have meant the world to me — it’s given me hope and direction. Thanks to the support here, I’m now actively looking for work, and I finally believe in the possibility of a better future. I’m deeply grateful for everything Tara Homes has done for me.
