Transitional Living Center for Women (TLC)

Mending the breaks caused by homelessness and substance abuse.
This shelter for displaced women works to combat three major challenges facing many women in Muskegon County: 1. No home of their own to live in. 2. Overcoming any disability that is a barrier to the quality of their life. 3. Seriously damaged relationships with family and friends. An extensive after-care program is offered for women after their stay at TLC, and this comprehensive, compassionate approach helps develop patterns and behaviors that will last a lifetime.
