AKA “Adsum” or “the Women’s Shelter on Brunswick”
Adsum for Women and Children’s mission is to support women and children and female youth who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in a client-centered, non-judgmental way; to provide services and housing – from crisis to stability – through short and longer term housing, programs and resources that offer safety and an opportunity for growth; and to advocate for women and children and to work to eliminate poverty and the societal conditions that create homelessness. Adsum House provides safe shelter, housing, services and support to female youth and adults age 16 and older.
