Below are 5 shelters for homeless in Potter, TX County.

Once a woman has successfully completed several months of recovery at Haven House, she is given the opportunity to move to Abba House.  The Abba House program still provides counseling and social services and the women are still required to attend 12-step program meetings.  However, they only participate in one weekly meeting.  They also live more independently in a very small apartment.  There is also the prospect of having one of their children live with them at Abba House.

DWC is the only long-term (2-year) addiction recovery program for homeless women in the Texas Panhandle.  Haven House is the entry level for the program.  We provide regular one-on-one counseling with a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) well as four group meetings a week.  The women are also required to attend four 12-step program meetings each week.  The case manager at Haven House helps each woman with social services – obtaining proper identification documents, enrolling for District Clinic medical assistance,

We conduct the most effective, faith-based alcohol and drug recovery programs in the area. These programs are intensive, 12-month work and training initiatives that have transformed hundreds of lives since 1951. By combining life skills and vocational training with biblical education and mentoring, the program provides shelter for addicts and inmates as they learn to become productive members of society.

While students are in the Hope Program, they are provided many opportunities. They have attended retreats in Glorietta, New Mexico and Women of Faith conferences in San Antonio. We provide them transportation to church as well as Celebrate Recovery. Outside activities include walking, softball, and frisbee golf. Additionally, a chiropractor comes to the ministry every week and gives adjustments to students.

Abba House and Haven House recovery programs are making a big difference in the lives of homeless women in recovery and their children
