The Women’s Housing Coalition is dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness for women and children by providing affordable housing and supportive services to enable them to sustain social and financial independence
The WHC’s objective is to provide homeless women and children with a range of housing options and opportunities in order to maximize their chances of future independence and self-sufficiency. The quality of the housing and services provided to our program participants is central to their success. Women respond directly to the value of the resources being invested in them. Self-esteem is a crucial component to success for the women in our programs. A quality living environment says a lot about how we view our residents and allows them to take a similar view of themselves and their potential.
Poverty, homelessness, addiction and mental illness, alone or together, can place enormous barriers in the paths of both women and their children. The WHC believes that the best response to such barriers is permanent housing combined with the targeted supportive services that help women stay on the path of personal development and growth.

Has the mission to build a community free of violence by working with adults and children affected by intimate partner and sexual violence to address their needs and prevent further violence through advocacy and education.
TurnAround, Inc. opened its doors in 1978 as the Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Center (SADVC) with the mission of providing counseling and support services to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence in Baltimore County. Our Baltimore City office opened in January 1995 to fill a gap in services for sexual assault victims and expanded to serve victims of domestic violence as well. The agency’s name was changed to Second Step, Inc. in 1998 as we celebrated 20 years of service to the community. In celebration of the new millennium, we became TurnAround, Inc., the first place to turn. Our mission has always been the same: to provide counseling and support services to victims of rape, incest and domestic violence and to increase community awareness and understanding of these problems.

Women Entrepreneurs of Baltimore
In 1988, Baltimore City’s newly-formed Commission for Women examined how to improve the lives of women, particularly those disproportionately affected by poverty and underemployment. They found large numbers of women possessing the will and determination to improve their lives through business ownership but lacking access to affordable business skills and coaching. At the same time, national and international studies emerged, showing microenterprise development or small business ownership to be one of the single most effective means of lifting people out of poverty. Out of the Commission’s inquiry arose a dedicated band of volunteers who formed Women Entrepreneurs of Baltimore in 1989, committed to building strong, women-owned business that lift up communities and families.
