Parker’s House: A Home for Women
Parker’s House: A Home for Women has become the only dedicated 90‑day program for women experiencing homelessness along the I‑95 corridor from Florida to South Carolina.
The facility offers far more than shelter. With 16 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a shared kitchen, living and dining rooms, a laundry room, computer lab, outdoor courtyard, and a dedicated learning center, Parker’s House provides a safe and dignified space for women to rebuild their lives.
Since its launch, more than 850 women have stepped out of unsafe sleeping situations—cars, streets, or unstable couch‑surfing—and into a secure, supportive environment. Here, they find a warm bed, meals, clothing, and a team ready to help them chart a path forward.
One woman arrived carrying a small knife. She quietly handed it over and said she no longer needed it—because for the first time in a long time, she felt safe. Moments like this reveal the harsh reality many women face on the streets, and the profound impact Parker’s House provides each night.
Many clients already have jobs but need the stability and security our program offers to finally secure permanent, safe housing.
Thanks to the remarkable generosity of our Founder’s Circle members and countless supporters, what began as a vision to serve more than 100 women each year has become a powerful, life‑changing reality.

On any given night, over 180 women in Chatham County are experiencing homelessness, according to the Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless’ 2019 HUD Point-in-Time Survey. Data shows women who do not have stable housing are more likely than men to experience trauma, assault, and be diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
