Emergency Housing
Serving as the only family shelter in the Township of Irvington, our Servant’s House Emergency Housing Program has provided safe, temporary housing to women and their children for over 20 years. Our Servant’s House facility has the capacity to house up to 70 individuals at any given time. The structure of our facility ensures a family’s ability to have an independent and private living space, which reduces the personal stigma and trauma of being in an open or congregate shelter environment. Families have access to living rooms, kitchens, a computer room, and an on-site laundry room.
Case Management
TPCS offers a holistic, family-centered case management model to provide integrated and coordinated services. Since clients enter our emergency housing program at varying levels of readiness, TPCS provides individualized services designed to meet the client and family to where they are in terms of readiness for permanent housing. Our case management program focuses on setting goals, creating and outlining detailed steps to achieve said goals, and providing resources to help our residents obtain their goals. We hope that when residents leave our program, they leave with a new sense of hope, ambitions, and purpose.
Continued Support Program
In effort to help our residents continue the progress they made during the course of the Servant’s House program, TPCS continues to provide supportive services to clients for a period of time following placement into permanent housing. This guarantees that residents in our emergency housing program have the necessary support while living independently. This results in a smoother and more stable transition from shelter stay to permanent housing.
Workshops + Supportive Services
Safe housing is just the first step toward stability for families experiencing homelessness. At TPCS, women and children get access to an array of services and workshops structured to facilitate a client’s level of independent functioning and overall quality of life. All service components are designed to provide a one-stop continuum of care while offering support to meet a variety of basic living and skill development needs.
