Saint John’s Program for Real Change is a comprehensive 12-18-month residential program for women experiencing homelessness and their children. We provide more than shelter and food. We can help you to rise above devastating, negative elements and achieve job readiness and self-sustainability.
Entry into the program is limited, and each step is extremely rigorous. But those who see it through end up with a rewarding, happy, and productive life – for yourself and your children.

For Women in Crisis
Outside of our full program, we provide short-term relief to women and children in immediate crisis through our Respite Program. We offer housing, mental health, and supportive services for up to seven days. During this time, you’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation, services, and referrals to help stabilize your current crisis and promote recovery.
To find help through the Respite Program, please call us at (916) 453-1482
Recovery and a stable and self-sufficient life for you and your children may feel completely out of reach. But we’ve seen what can happen when a woman focuses her mind, determination, and strength on a better life for herself and for her children. It’s hard, but you can succeed. And we’ll be here to help you on the journey.
The Respite Program is funded by the Division of Behavioral Health Services through the approved Proposition 63, Mental Health Services Act (MHSA).
