ZION HOUSE
A TRANSITIONAL HOME FOR HOMELESS WOMEN VETERANS OF THE UNITES STATES MILITARY
ZION HOUSE
is a TRANSITIONAL HOME FOR HOMELESS WOMEN VETERANS who are coming out of crisis and moving into self-sustaining independent living.  A place that offers a safe supportive caring environment while the resident veteran readjusts to making her way in the world with confidence , a sense of self-worth, and dignity.
OUR VISION
The vision of the ZION HOUSE program and the environment in which it takes place, is to give each participant greater selfdetermination in the decisions she must make as she moves through life and to help her in the transition from a homeless situation to secure independent living and employment. Of prime concern are the decisions she makes relative to selfworth, relationships, health care, housing, nutrition, finances, and job. The program is seen as the last step before independent living after treatment for her wounds.

OUR LOCATION
Located in Avon, a small village near Rochester, NY, ZION HOUSE is well situated to offer many employment opportunities and a future of independent living for our women veterans.  ZION HOUSE offers a much needed service to those who have served our country.  The services offered and the follow up provided will enhance and give hope to the lives of those who may feel their lives have become hopeless.  The residents of ZION HOUSE, as they reside in and as they leave, will once again become valuable contributors to our country.  Instead of being a liability to society through their homelessness, they will be an asset by once again doing their duty, bringing new vitality and contribution through independent living.
FIRST FOR WOMEN
As a transitional home dedicated to women veterans, ZION HOUSE is one of the first of its kind in the United States and the only one in New York State.
