Sheffield Place, the only treatment center in Kansas City focused on homeless mothers with mental health, substance abuse, and domestic violence issues and their children in our community, serves fourteen families (up to 56 individuals) at the facility at any one time; 30 families (up to 120 individuals) on average call Sheffield Place home over the course of a year. Ninety percent of families that complete the program become self-sufficient by healing from trauma, acquiring permanent housing, increasing education and employment skills, and reducing welfare dependency. With a mission "To empower homeless mothers and their children to heal from their trauma and help them become self-sufficient," Sheffield Place offers a path from homelessness to self-sufficiency through five fully integrated programs: Adult Clinical Services, Children's Clinical Services, Residential Services, 7-Step Empowerment/Strengths-Based Case Management, and Residential Services. What sets Sheffield Place apart is the commitment to trauma-informed, evidence-based therapeutic interventions, the exclusive focus on homeless mothers and their children, the length of stay (up to two years), and the delivery of all services onsite. Sheffield Place is a national leader in homeless services. Since 1991, Sheffield Place has empowered more than 560 homeless mothers and their children (approximately 2000 people) to make the difficult journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency.
