Alpha House was
formed in 1989 by a group of women concerned with the lack of long term housing
and support for women and their children who were victims of abuse. The
women knew that shelters were a short-term solution and that many women
traumatized by years of abuse were unable to start a new life because they were
not being provided with continual support. Alpha House Project Inc. was
founded to fulfill this need. Through their fundraising efforts over the
next five years, Alpha House formally opened its doors to the first family in
1994. Since that time over 85 families in need have turned to Alpha House to
move their lives in a new direction.
