Located in Brooklyn, NY, the program was established as an additional extension of Project Extreme and as an opportunity for homeless young women who are 18 years and older to have a safe place to live. Miryam’s House offers a growth-oriented home for those seeking a temporary home, additional encouragement, life skills support and transitional services, and healthy communication skills.
Miryam's House is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom private womens home, located in a residential area of Brooklyn close to major transportation and shopping. As a transitional house for homeless girls and young women, Miryams House provides a range of services as well.
