Works In Progress
A Christ-Centered Path to Healing, Housing, and Hope
From Surviving to Thriving: One Woman, One Home at a Time
At Works In Progress, we believe that every woman deserves a safe place to call home—and a loving community to call her own. We are a nonprofit organization providing transitional and supportive housing for women experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. Our approach is rooted in Christian discipleship and trauma-informed care, offering women the tools to heal, grow, and thrive.
We serve women who have survived incarceration, trafficking, or intimate partner violence, helping them rebuild their lives through stable housing and holistic empowerment. Whether it’s emotional healing, spiritual growth, or career advancement, our Christ-centered programs are designed to walk with women every step of the way.
