We believe every day is a chance for a new start.

What We Do

We are non-profit organization that serves the Erie community by providing housing assistance to women (& their children) who are homeless or are facing potential homelessness.

Erie DAWN is not a shelter, but rather a program which aims to assists highly-motivated women gain financial independence while living safely & with dignity.

How Do We Do It?

Every day we aim to make a difference through education, support services & housing placement for our participants.

  • We educate our participants through financial literacy & life skills programming

  • We support our participants through case management & advocacy services

  • We house our participants in Erie DAWN owned housing and Erie DAWN vetted housing through collaborations with local landlords
