Programs at Acres of Diamonds
Acres is part of a larger response to the growing problem of women and children living in poverty in Western Washington. About half of the 20,000 homeless in Washington every night are families with children, with nowhere safe to go at night. Acres offers a safe place for women and children to find the courage to rewrite their stories.
Acres serves families who are predominantly victims of domestic violence or substance abuse, and lifelong poverty. Transitional housing programs, like Acres, play an important role in the continuum of options and programs in addressing the concern of homelessness.
The Uplifting Women & Children Program at Acres is a holistic program that embraces homeless moms and their kids who are seeking lasting change as they recover from domestic violence and/or substance addiction.
The program uses trauma informed care to support families as they address their challenges and rebuild their lives. All the programs help our residents work through emotional challenges, find their own voice, and show them that a bigger community cares about them.
