Reaching Pines Transitional Supportive Housing Community for Survivors of Domestic Violence Reaching Pines is a transitional supportive housing community for survivors of domestic violence.  Located in Conroe, Reaching Pines is more than just an apartment complex.  It is a community of survivors supported by one another, as well as a team of professional counselors and advocates.  The goal is for Reaching Pines residents to be financially and emotionally independent and break the cycle of domestic violence for themselves and their children.   Why does our community need Reaching Pines? More than 800 women and children stay at the MCWC’s shelter every year.  After their 60-day     maximum stay, the majority of these women do not have the financial resources to take the step to independent living There is a serious shortage of affordable rental property in MontgomeryCounty Outcomes data from our shelter confirms that as many as one in five women returns to her     batterer rather than face homelessness for herself and her children   What are the criteria for residency at Reaching Pines?   Applicants for Reaching Pines residency must have an income, be free of addiction, adhere to a strict code of conduct and must demonstrate a desire to establish themselves financially.  Residents pay rent based on a sliding scale, and are held accountable to program requirements through regular meetings with their case managers.  The maximum stay at Reaching Pines will be two years.   What will Reaching Pines offer to residents?   Reaching Pines will give women an affordable community in which to take the step to independent living 24 energy-efficient apartments – designed to be either one, two, three or four bedroom unit Community Center on the property Life skills classes, GED completion, a computer room and other tools necessary to further           education Counseling and advocacy for residents and their children Proximity to the neighboring C.I.S.D. elementary school  Legal support How can I help?
