Leslie’s House for homeless women
Shelter beds for homeless women in Greensboro are limited, and we don’t have a women’s-only homeless shelter. But High Point does, and I refer women there regularly. It’s called Leslie’s House.
From today’s News & Record:
“The charming two-story house on West English Road has everything.
New appliances. Gleaming hardwood floors. Spotless carpets. Even a white picket fence. Sitting on the plush leather couch in the large living room, admiring the paintings that line the walls, it’s easy to imagine any upwardly mobile American family living here.
But the family that lives here is different. They are all women, all single and all homeless.
They call it Leslie’s House, and since opening in January it’s been home to as many as 22 homeless women a night — giving them shelter, dignity and a sense of community…”

Thank you, everyone, for your continued support and love!
We can not make the shelter a true safe haven without the community’s support!!

Leslie’s House really is a jewel of a place – took someone there last month, and Kim went in with her to get her settled. Kim said you could see the delight on our friend’s face as she saw what a beautiful and safe place she had to stay in.
