A Place of Healing, Hope, and Recovery
In the heart of Los Angeles, over 7,000 women are currently experiencing homelessness — and as many as 4,600 are struggling with addiction. These are not just statistics.
These are mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends.
Homeless women are sexually assaulted at more than twice the rate of housed women. 92% report surviving severe physical or sexual violence. Yet even with this staggering trauma, many remain without safe options for recovery.
At The Clare E. Women’s Recovery Center, we’re offering more than a bed. We’re offering a pathway back to self, dignity, and stability.
Women have long been the cornerstone of family and community. They are the nurturers, caregivers, and providers. When a woman struggles with addiction, the ripple effect touches everyone — from her children to the communities she helps hold together.
Treatment for women experiencing homelessness and addiction isn’t just critical — it’s foundational to a healthy, functioning society.
Our Program
This unique, trauma-informed approach empowers women with the tools they need to rebuild their lives and re-enter their communities with purpose.
Safe, Supportive Housing
We provide housing for up to 30 women in semi- private rooms, recognizing the need for privacy and safety. Many women avoid traditional shelters due to theft, overcrowding, or fear of violence. By creating a space that feels secure and respectful, we offer the dignity so many have been denied.
Together, We Rebuild Lives
With the right support, recovery is possible. The Midnight Mission has a proven framework that helps 12–16% of our program participants successfully reestablish lives in recovery.The Clare E. Center is an extension of that legacy — built for women, led by compassion, and driven by results.
Whether you support us through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word, you become part of her story — a story of strength, survival, and renewal.
