True Light Family Resource Center

Emancipation Station:

Emancipation Station is a safe comfortable space for women to shelter who would otherwise be on the streets. We provide a caring community that seeks to restore dignity to broken and discouraged women. Showers, laundry facilities, clean clothes, and hot meals are available weekdays 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

A case manager assists with re-housing and community referrals. Job searches and applications may be accessed in our computer lab. Field trips and special celebrations occur several times a year. Classes are offered in life skills, fitness, sewing, and Bible study. We welcome volunteers to teach additional classes in your area of interest.

Women’s Transitional Home:

Our 2-story bungalow provides a comfortable temporary home where women may reside while working toward re-housing. Guests access all True Light services while staying in our home (classes, case management, meals, free clothes closet, etc.). On average, 85% of our residents achieve permanent housing after a 3-month stay.

Our home is unique in the Kansas City area in that we do not require women to have an addiction diagnosis for entrance. Thus, our home is available to a wider population of homeless women. Donations for repairs and upkeep are always neede
