Saint John’s Program for Real Change assists Sacramento’s most vulnerable women — women struggling with homelessness in combination with other challenges, like poverty, substance use disorder, mental health, violence and abuse — on their journey to bright, healthy and independent lives for themselves and their children.

Each day, we support up to 270 formerly homeless women and children as they work to overcome the deep-seated challenges and behaviors that have turned into crisis and trauma.

The 12-18 month residential program is designed to support women in taking responsibility for themselves and their families. We provide more than shelter and food. Our program — and the wrap-around services included within it — is designed to give women the ability to rise above past struggles and achieve job-readiness, self-sustainability and life-long stability.
