My Sister’s House works with each young woman’s individual strengths and focuses on helping her achieve goals through encouragement and ongoing support; helping young women to think bigger, dream higher and have the courage to re-create themselves. Guidance and support is provided to achieve the goals that the young woman wishes to set. When young women choose to move on independently, they are also assisted in finding stable, affordable living arrangements.
