Waypoint Services provides shelter and support for those in crisis due to
homelessness, poverty or domestic violence. It also provides quality child
care to over 500 children daily of all socio-economic levels.
Their team of Housing Specialists and Advocates offers support in locating
housing for those who are homeless, at-risk of becoming homeless or
victims of domestic violence who must relocate for safety needs by
connecting them to resources in the community that best meets their
needs.
They also provide shelter and stabilizing resources for homeless women
and their children through the Madge Phillips Center Shelter. The Center
offers basic needs, information, strategic referrals, one-on-one support,
and skill development so women can achieve and maintain self-sufficiency
and family stability.

line, crisis counseling, and emergency shelter at a confidential location.
