Our Mission

To provide emergency shelter and resources for single homeless women, regardless of their faith, in an environment that respects their dignity as human persons, affords them the opportunity to live individually and collectively with others in a safe environment of self-government, and empowers them to network with local businesses and social services for employment and self-sufficiency.

Who We Are

Welcome to St. Joseph Missions Women’s Shelter, where we are committed to empowering homeless women and honoring their dignity. Our shelter is Fort Wayne’s first 24/7/365 emergency shelter for single homeless women, providing a safe and supportive environment for those who need it most. We understand that homelessness is a complex issue and often requires more than just a bed for the night. That’s why we strive to provide a structured environment that helps women become self-sufficient and build a better future.
