Marguerite’s Place

Community + Opportunity + Healing

From the comfort and safety of their own apartments, Marguerite’s Place supports women (including both cis and trans women) and gender-diverse people who are working toward living in community. Marguerite’s Place is not a shelter, but rather, is supportive housing designed to meet the needs of single women and gender-diverse people over the age of 30, without dependents in their care, living on low income, and facing barriers to stable housing. We utilize a harm reduction approach, meaning applicants do not have to be sober to apply or be accepted.

Creating comprehensive care plans, the team at Marguerite’s Place work with residents to reach their goals and take a strengths based approach to building change. We strive to promote understanding that those who are in any way shape or form displaced, removed, or willingly/ forced to leave previous housing situations deserve the right to judgment free, exploitative free, and violent free means of living.
