Most recently under Beth’s leadership, Laurel House began a renovation and expansion of our transitional housing building in North Wales, known as Nehemiah’s Way. Once part a large estate, this building was gifted to Laurel House over 20 years ago by another organization that had transformed it into individual apartments for survivors of domestic violence and their children.

The intent of the project is to increase the available apartments from 5 to six and to make one of the units fully ADA accessible. Clients can stay in these apartments for up to two years. They do not sign a lease so there are no broken lease costs or evictions on their record if they leave prior to the end of the 2-year program. This transitional housing program has been a lifeline for domestic violence survivors in need of housing.
