My Father's House of Erie
It’s a place – a safe, homelike environment providing community services and supportive principles for women and children.
It’s a program for skill development, from parenting to employment, home-making to financial management. Our goal is to help women be self-sufficient and learn ways to manage healthy lives.
It’s a support system, providing ongoing supportive classes and individual counseling with trained staff, volunteers and mentors to ensure success in the community.
My Father’s House is all these things. And more. It’s a newly renovated facility where women are respected, honored and motivated .
It’s also a community asset, a resource that gives new hope to families and enhances the quality of life for all of us living in Erie.
