Our Mission

Transitions works to end poverty and homelessness for women and children in Spokane. We pursue this mission through the operation of Women’s Hearth, Transitional Living Center, EduCare, Miryam’s House, New Leaf, and Home Yard Cottages.

We operate six programs designed to support our community by providing childcare, housing, job training, and friendly, safe spaces for women and children to visit.

Services

The emphasis of all services at Transitions is to work to end poverty and homelessness for women and children in Spokane.

The time you give volunteering, the funds you invest filling the gaps in funding, and the friends you invite to our events, increases our reach in our community.

Success Stories

“I’ve been here for a year. I’d been thinking of getting clean for a while, and getting sick and nearly dying made me get clean. I appreciate the Case Managers helping me become stable.”

- Participant, 2020

“This place is safe for me, quiet. I can work on goals. My trauma level is going down, my anxiety level is going down. I feel safe. I didn’t have friends, family, or support. Now I have all that.”

- Participant, 2021

“Through this program I was able to find sobriety. Once I found sobriety, I found myself. I found out who I was and who I wanted to become.”
