The Chelsea House

Homeless women and their children in our area face many problems and are in need of help. It is the mission of the Good Samaritan Network to be a part of the solution to this ever-growing problem. Through various support services, we are able to meet the needs of the homeless; thus, offering them encouragement and hope in God. The Good Samaritan Network is a faith-based outreach that networks with like-minded agencies and ministries for the purpose of restoration to individuals who find themselves facing homelessness. It is our goal to reach out to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our ladies in need.
