In existence since 1991, Sammon Build Provides Temporary Housing to single-female heads of household and their children of both genders up to 14 years old.

Each family has it's own fully furnished apartment with kitchen and bathroom. On site services include case management, housing assistance, referral and monitoring to substance abuse, general and mental health and other programs. Site based childcare and recreation/after-school programs and Board of Education monitoring.

Client safety, empowerment and education are important headings, but we also focus on compassion, empathy and understanding.

Though funded by the Department of Homeless Services, we still depend on charitable donations of food, clothing and cash. These donations provide the little "extras" that make the difference between the necessities and offerings that warm the heart and ease the soul.
