Rosie’s Place was founded in 1974 as the first women’s shelter in the United States. Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment to help poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity, and find security in their lives.

Rosie’s Place relies on the generous support of individuals, foundations, and corporations and does not accept any city, state or federal funding.
