Sisters Place

Sisters PlaceSisters Place is a supportive housing community committed to assisting single parent families who are homeless in Southwestern Pennsylvania.  Our mission is to assist families toward self-sufficiency by providing housing and supportive services.

Sisters Place, Inc., was founded in 1993 by a group of 14 Catholic religious communities in Southwestern Pennsylvania.  Our congregation, the Millvale Region, is among these 14 communities.  These women wanted to serve the needs of those who were poor.  They chose to provide housing and supportive services to single mothers and their children.

The founders believed it important that Sisters Place residents be part of a larger community, and so after aggressive fundraising, they purchased 16Sisters place mom apartments within the 450 unit Century Townhomes complex.

Sisters Place specializes in filling the gaps that exist in addressing our residents' needs: mental health care, life skills training, career development, substance abuse recovery, and housing placement assistance when the family is ready to move on.  Since its inception in 1993, Sisters Place has served over 140 mothers.  We are proud that our programs help these families break the cycle of poverty and homelessness, rebuild their lives, and achieve self-sufficiency.
