Referral

ROCC for Women welcomes referrals from anyone who is supporting a woman who may be experiencing homelessness, unsafe housing, or have experienced incarceration or who are transitioning from drug and alcohol rehabilitation. 
 
Women can also self-refer — you don’t need a service to contact us on your behalf.
 
If you’re unsure whether we are the right service, just call us — we’re here to help.
