MISSION STATEMENT

Spring House is dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness for women and their children.
Spring House strives to provide services to break the barriers of homelessness and reinforce self-dignity, independence and self-awareness.

HISTORY

Spring House has been successful in providing a safe haven for women and their children since 1990. The program has been a success because it is an integration of housing and comprehensive services which help develop self-awareness, inner confidence, life skills, educational advancement, vocational training, and goal setting as a means of achieving self sufficiency.

Spring House is a transitional group home located in Eatontown,
New Jersey. Operating since 1990, its goal is to provide shelter to
homeless young mothers and their children while enabling the women
the opportunity to gain self-sufficiency while living in a safe,
supportive environment.

PURPOSE

The residents of Spring House sign a contract agreeing to work towards completing their high school education, attend parenting and life skills classes and delaying any additional pregnancies. While at Spring House they receive guidance in: job search and career planning; financial planning; health, nutrition and cooking skills; assistance in finding permanent housing upon completion of the program as well as locating safe, affordable child care.
The length of the stay is approximately nine months, depending on each case.
Spring House offers stability and the opportunity to help women help themselves. The program is designed to meet the needs of women in crises as it builds confidence, self-esteem and independence.
 

ABOUT US

Children's programs are provided in a converted carriage house which is located on-site. The carriage house was renovated and furnished through the generous work of several community organizations.

Spring House works with a host of agencies networking to provide the necessary support services for each resident. In addition, each family works with the Program Coordinator to help achieve personal growth and family stability.
