Arbor House

Arbor House was acquired by St. Francis House in 2013. Arbor House provides affordable housing in a communal setting to low-income and extremely low-income women and women with children. Each family works with a case manager to design an individualized plan to move to self-sufficiency. Low-income families who cannot afford market rent benefit from this set-up since they work as a community to achieve similar goals. The extended time families can stay at Arbor House, combined with their case manager partnership, has allowed mothers to pursue education and technical skills, ultimately increasing their incomes.

Arbor House provides affordable housing in a communal setting to single women and single mothers with children. There are 15 rooms available for rent, where residents get their own room, but share bathrooms, kitchen, and living room with other tenants.
