Clare of Assisi House, located in Reading PA, provides residential transitional living for non-violent women with a history of domestic violence and/or substance abuse upon their release from prison. Clare of Assisi House endeavors to help women break the cycle of homelessness, unemployment, and poverty by enabling them to become psychologically and economically self-sufficient so that they may be contributing members of the communities in which they live.

In addition to providing transitional housing, Clare of Assisi House offers access to personal counseling, mentoring, spiritual support and professional skills training. Addiction recovery services, opportunity for education, employment counseling, parenting training, and life skills training are offered.

Our residents consist of non-violent women being released from prison. Once accepted, residents may live at Clare House, located in Reading PA, for 15 months. Our mission is to foster restoration to the women by providing a safe home and support they need to successfully reenter the community. Building self-confidence and independence, women learn to see themselves as a unique creation of God, while living, thriving, and growing in a safe, sober, and comfortable home-like environment.
