our purpose

Friends of Guest House dedicates itself to the empowerment of female ex-offenders who sincerely desire to create a better life for themselves after incarceration.  We provide a temporary home for women who need vital, basic support services so they can start a new life and transition back into society and lead successful lives.

Housing, food, counseling, employment assistance, medical, legal and social services are provided to our clients so they can become self-sufficient and responsible members of the community.

We offer these services with no regard to race, religion, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability.
