Rainbow Village

Rainbow Village is a comprehensive housing program that provides fully furnished homes and comprehensive support services for homeless families with children. Over the past 25 years, Rainbow Village has emerged as a recognized program that does what temporary shelters cannot - permanently break the cycles of homelessness, poverty and domestic violence and give homeless families with children a fresh start in life. To achieve a graduate success rate of 85%, Rainbow Village provides a life changing 1-2 year program that is designed to transform the life of a homeless family into one of prosperity and independence. We firmly believe in the concept of providing a hand up and not a hand out. Families pay up to 30% of their income for housing and they develop and execute a self-sufficiency plan with the assistance of a Rainbow Village case manager. Once families become a part of the program, they immediately begin attending weekly, mandatory classes focusing on parenting, home management, financial literacy, health and wellness, and workforce development, among others. Before and after school programs are designed to keep Rainbow Village children safe and allow parents to work without worry. Alumni families program offers ongoing support and mentoring opportunities since studies show it takes a full five years to permanently break the cycle of homelessness.
