The mission of W.O.E. is to provide temporary housing for formerly incarcerated women as well as their children upon their release. W.O.E. will provide these women with the tools needed to address the issues that led to their incarceration. This re-entry program will provide substance abuse treatment services, childcare services, budget and financial management, life skills, vocational and educational services, counseling services and appropriate referrals when needed. The structured environment will teach these women how to say no to drugs while lifting them spiritually, emotionally, and physically. By housing these women in this structured environment, it will reduce recidivism. It will offer the support needed to combat the rising crime rate, reduce state spending for the care of their children if they were in foster care, and allow the women to become productive members of society. By developing linkages with other agencies/organizations in an effort to provide holistic services while providing the tools to realize success W.O.E. is committed to assisting these women in functioning independently.
