Safe Housing
Clean, comfortable, and secure housing for those in need.
Our Programs
Somewhere safe to land, and the time to stand back up.
A Place of Rest is transitional housing: a real home for a season, while the ground underneath you becomes solid again.
Four parts of one home
Safe Housing. Supportive Community. Life Skills. Brighter Futures.
Housing is the beginning, not the whole of it. Rest, care and steadiness are what let a woman actually get somewhere.
Supportive Community
Compassionate staff and a community that cares.
Life Skills
Programs and resources to help residents grow and become independent.
Brighter Futures
Empowering individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve their goals.
What transitional housing means here
Not a shelter bed for a night. A home for the season you are in.
Emergency shelters are built to get a woman through tonight. Transitional housing is built for what comes after that — the stretch of weeks and months where a life gets put back together: work found, children settled, a plan made and kept.
That is the season A Place of Rest exists for. You are not a case number moving through a system. You are a woman in a hard moment who deserves a quiet room, a warm meal, and somebody steady to talk to.
We serve women here in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the children in their care, including foster children and teens aged 3 to 21. As the organization grows, a home for men and boys is part of what we plan to offer — one of five to six homes we are working toward. Read what is coming next. If you are not sure whether your situation fits, reach out anyway — a short conversation will tell us both more than a form can.
Wondering if this is for you?
You do not have to be certain, and you do not have to have documents ready. Tell us what is happening and we will tell you honestly what we can do.
Send a private messageA room of your own
Your own space with a door that closes, in a household that stays calm and respectful of everyone in it.
A steady address
Somewhere consistent to be reached, so appointments, paperwork and applications stop slipping through the cracks.
Support beside you
Someone to think things through with — the practical steps, the paperwork, the decisions that feel too big alone.
Children welcome
Mothers and their children stay together here. Your little ones are part of the household, not an obstacle to it.
Mothers and their children
The hardest part of starting over is doing it while holding a child’s hand.
A woman leaving a hard situation is often carrying more than her own fear. She is arranging school runs, finding somewhere a child can sleep, and trying to look calm in front of little eyes that notice everything.
A Place of Rest holds both halves of that. The housing is built for mothers, and the care is built for the reality of a working, studying, healing parent — the early shift, the late class, the appointment nobody could reschedule.
Together
A mother and her children are housed as one family. That is not negotiable here.
Steady
Predictable days and a calm household, because children settle when the ground stops moving.
Kind
Patience with a child who has been through something — and with a mother who has too.
Bringing children?
Tell us how many and how old, so we can plan properly. That is all we need to know at the start.
Reach outHow it goes
Three quiet steps.
- 01
Reach out
Send the private form or call. Tell us as much or as little as you want to. A first name and one way to reach you is enough to start.
- 02
Talk it through
We speak with you about what is happening and what you are hoping for, and you can ask us anything you need to know.
- 03
Take the next step
If it is a good fit, we talk about moving in and what the first weeks would look like for you and your children.
For referring partners
Working with an agency or a church?
Case managers, pastors, counselors and neighbors refer women to us often. Send a message with what you can share and how to reach the woman, and we will take it from there — with her knowledge, and with care for her privacy.
What to include
- A name and a number that is safe to use
- Whether children are coming too
- How soon she needs somewhere
- Anything you have already tried
What we keep private
Everything. Nothing sent to us through this site is published, shared or added to a public list. We do not contact anyone a woman has not told us about.

It is private, it is read by us, and it costs nothing to ask.
