Mary's Place Transitional Apartments

This building was named after and dedicated to the Blessed Mother Mary. This beautiful $13.5 million dollar complex was born out of love, compassion and concern for women and children in poverty. It was built entirely with private donations. It's 92 fully furnished apartments give safety and hope to all who occupy them. Rooms vary in size. Sixty large family units accomodate 5 to 10 people each. Thirty-two small family units house 3-5 people each. All together we can house more than 500 people in need.

Every effort has been made to assure the security of residents. The lobby is staffed 24 hours a day and entry is by ID card only. Visitors are not allowed in the rooms. Alchohol and drugs are strictly prohibited. Rooms must be kept clean and are inspected each day. Each unit is completely furnished with a kitchen, bathroom, television, and phone. A complete, free laundromat is located on the first floor.

   

Young children of residents may use the activity center at the adjacent Mary My Hope Children's Building. In the afternoon and evenings the Teen Center is open with fully furnished exercise and weight room, pool tables, TV room, outdoor basketball court and more. Mary's Place also has a large indoor and outdoor play area for the children of residents.

The first floor also contains a medical clinic, two classrooms, a large community room, a well equiped resource room, computer rooms, offices, meeting rooms, and a children's play area.

Mary's Place has four full-time Children and Family Advocates that work with the families on their housing needs. They also work with the children offering tutoring, mentoring, and enrichment activities.
