Helping women safely find their pathway home.
Freedom Place is a welcoming community designed to provide women experiencing homelessness, addiction, and related challenges a chance to recover in a safe and enriching environment.
​
Owned and managed by Developers Collaborative, Freedom Place offers residents an enhanced environment for recovery through 24/7 on-site support provided by Catholic Charities Maine.
Who We Help
Women recovering from trauma and addiction are susceptible to poverty, hunger, adverse legal interaction, sexual exploitation, and domestic abuse. Freedom Place is purposefully designed to provide an underserved and vulnerable segment of the female population with secure, affordable housing with access to programs tailored to promote recovery, relationships, respect, accountability, self-determination, and pathways back to productive lives.
Our Community
Freedom Place features 38 private single rooms on three floors. The design allows for privacy while promoting accountability and community. In addition to a communal kitchen and living rooms/lounges, and on-site laundry facilities, our location provides easy access to public transportation.
How We Help
Freedom Place welcomes women indoors who are redefining their lives after experiencing trauma ─ providing a safe, stable place to connect with professional and peer recovery counseling, vocational, and recovery support services.​
With 24/7 on-site support from Catholic Charities Maine Behavioral Health staff, women are encouraged to create a meaningful and purposeful life by setting personal goals, learning how to establish boundaries and developing the communications tools to advocate for themselves.
