Program Details:

Mid-Point: MidPoint is a permanent housing program offering single chronically homeless women in Cambridge the opportunity to remain in their community by building skills, income and establishing positive tenancy records. The women are identified by staff at On the Rise. The women are then interviewed by Heading Home and accepted into the program. All of the units are currently located within the Cambridge YWCA.

Mid-Point provides the needed support and encouragement for women who have long histories of homelessness and are disabled. They have their own room at the YWCA and continue to receive support from On the Rise and Heading Home. On the Rise works with women who are unable to work with traditional service providers.
