Community + Opportunity + Healing

From the comfort and safety of their own apartments, Marguerite’s Place assists those who are striving toward living in community. Marguerite’s Place is designed to meet the needs of single women and non-binary people over the age of 30, without dependents in their care, living on low income, and facing barriers to stable housing. We assist those who want additional support to maintain housing and utilize a harm reduction approach, meaning applicants do not have to be sober to apply or be accepted.
Marguerite’s Place is a trans inclusive space, for transgender women and non-binary people. 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.
