Killingsworth is a unique community residence for women who are emerging from crisis situations.

Within the eight bedroom home, women recovering from alcohol and/or drug abuse, incarceration, mental and emotional problems, violence and assault, or family crisis situations can find shelter and support. The residential program includes  room, board, guidance and support for a nominal fee. Financial and vocational assistance to the residents is often available from partner agencies in the community.

Each resident is required to be involved in some organized productive activity during her stay. For most residents that means employment. Training or educational programs which lead to employment are equally acceptable. This requirement is basic to each woman’s steps toward self-sufficiency and return to community life.
