The Need For Safe Housing

​

NLI is a place that provides safety, protection, and a gateway to self empowerment.  Newleaf international believe that people in general deserve a chance to move towards there individual goals, the only way that people are able to build their future is by supporting them with a room, education and work.

​

Transitional housing provides support in a temporary type of accommodation that bridges the gap from homelessness by offering structure, support, supervision, life skills through education and training.  It also provides the framework and opportunity for women to rebuild their networks back into the community, and establishing new friendships.

​
