In response to ever increasing need, Good Shepherd Center developed the Women's Village, a community of women at various stages in their journeys out of homelessness. Women's Village offers the complex, in-depth and long-term continuum of care necessary to make lasting changes in the lives of homeless women and their children. At the Women's Village, clients not only receive shelter and supportive services, they learn the skills necessary to achieve independence and self-sufficiency.

After emergency shelter, some women need additional assistance to transition to independent living. At Hawkes, a transitional residence, 30 women pay a modest rent, save a portion of their income and receive additional services and support, such as:
Private, furnished rooms
Professional case management, including assistance with finding affordable housing and obtaining educational or vocational training
Computer training, job placement and coaching to develop a foundation for economic stability
Access to health care
Advocacy and support for family reunification

Mothers with disabilities are especially vulnerable to homelessness. Angel Guardian Home, comprised of 12 two-bedroom apartments, provides long-term housing for this special population. Families may live at Angel Guardian and access support services through Good Shepherd Center until the youngest child is 18.

Sr. Julia Mary Farley Women's Village III, the final phase of Women's Village, provides services to all residents of Good Shepherd Center's facilities. Components of Women's Village III include:
21 one-bedroom apartments that provide transitional housing for unescorted women that are working but need additional time to transition into independent living
An Employment and Client Services Center
A retail bakery which provides employment assistance and concrete work experience
