Long-term Housing for Families in Recovery — The MOMS (Motivation, Opportunities, Mentoring and Spirituality) Program builds on Sojourner House's experience in providing a holistic mind-body-spirit approach to treating addiction. MOMS provides permanent, supportive housing for homeless, single dual-diagnosed women in recovery, as well as for their dependent children. Families are accepted from many agencies throughout the Pittsburgh region.

The MOMS program enables women to live independently with their children in a three or four bedroom apartment of their own. During their stay families receive:

• Assistance in developing a plan to achieve personal and family goals
• Assistance in finding and accessing needed resources
• Counseling and education on topics such as parenting and life skills
• Work-readiness/education/volunteer opportunities for the mothers
• Educational, recreational, and prevention activities for the children
