Permanent Housing. Real Support. A Foundation for Hope.
Homelessness is not just the absence of shelter —it’s the absence of peace, safety, opportunity, and belonging.

Across our region, too many women and children are left to navigate life alone —sleeping in cars, rotating between unstable places, surviving abusive environments, or piecing together short-term shelter with no long-term path forward.
Not because they lack strength…but because they lack support, community, and a safe place to begin again. At Talitha Cumi Missions, we exist for them.
We provide permanent supportive housing for women and children in crisis —not temporary shelter, but a home built on dignity, stability, and love.
A Safe Place to Rise: The Heart of Talitha Cumi Missions
Our Promise
Every woman who walks through our doors can expect:
A safe, stable, long-term home
Wrap-around support focused on healing and independence
Spiritual counsel and prayer for those who desire it
Referrals to trusted health, mental-health, and social service partners
Community, compassion, and dignity — never judgment or pressure
We don’t “hold” women until they can survive —we equip them to thrive.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Where many programs offer temporary shelter or transitional stays,Talitha Cumi Missions offers permanence.
Where others focus only on services, we focus on whole-person restoration.
Our model blends:
Safe, long-term housing
Case navigation & supportive referrals
Life-skills and stability coaching
Community support
Optional Christian spiritual counsel and healing spaces
A culture of dignity, empowerment, and love
We meet women where they are — then walk with them as they rise.
No time limits.No rushed expectations.No shame.Just support, stability, and a path forward.
Why Spiritual Support Matters
For many of the women we serve, trauma didn’t just take stability —it tried to take identity, worth, and hope.
So we restore those too.
Not through force, but through invitation.
Women who desire spiritual counsel receive prayer, biblical encouragement, and faith-rooted healing support — because we believe God restores what the world tries to break.
Housing gives safety.Spiritual support gives strength.Community gives hope.
Together, they give women a chance to rise again.
Our Vision
We believe every woman — every daughter — deserves:
A safe place to grow
A stable place to call home
A chance to rebuild her life with dignity🕊️ A place where her spirit can breathe again
A future where her children thrive, not survive
We are building more than housing.We are building restoration, community, legacy, and generational healing.

Talitha Cumi — Daughter, Arise.A safe place to land.A supportive place to heal.A strong place to rise.Women fleeing domestic violence.Mothers aging out of foster care without support.Survivors of trauma navigating life alone.Daughters doing their best to rebuild, but without a safe place to land.
For them, homelessness is not simply the absence of housing —it is the absence of stability, safety, and peace. Talitha Cumi Missions exists to change that.
This is not “temporary assistance.”This is a launchpad into lasting independence.
Not “shelter.”A home. A community. A future. Together, we are building a model of care, equity, restoration, and generational empowerment.
The Heart Behind Our Mission
Our name means “Daughter, Arise.”
We believe in restoring dignity.We believe in second chances — and third ones, too.We believe women are not burdens — they are builders of families, faith, and future prosperity when given the opportunity.
And for those who desire it, we offer spiritual encouragement and community — honoring their faith, autonomy, and identity every step of the way.
Why It Matters
Permanent Supportive Housing is not charity.
It is:
Public health
Economic recovery
Generational change
Community transformation
Human dignity in action
When women rise, children rise — and communities rise.
