BOISE RESCUE MISSION MINISTRIES' CITY LIGHT HOME FOR WOMEN & CHILDREN

City Light Home for Women & Children

City Light Home for Women and Children was opened in 2000 to serve the needs of Boise's most vulnerable homeless. City Light offers free meals and emergency shelter to women and their children, as well as counseling and other assistance as needed. This building also houses the New Life Program for women, the Mission's twelve to eighteen month discipleship and addiction recovery program.

In 2009, four women graduated from the New Life Program, and are now working and making great lives for themselves and their children! City Light served over 97,341 meals and provided over 27,696 safe nights of shelter. In 2009, the Mission renovated the former warehouse into a new dorm for homeless women, adding 58 beds! This shelter has seen a lot of use already, sheltering many women who would otherwise have no place to go.

The graduates from the New Life Program at City Light have the option of moving into transitional housing apartments, where they can establish themselves in the working world, pay off any previous debts or fines, accumulate savings and remain in the positive environment and fellowship of the Mission's facilities.
