Giving women a chance to be a integral part of society...

The Homeless Housewife, as an independent agency, will monitor and evaluate the provision of services to homeless families and to advance policies throughout Santa Barbara that promote the fair and just treatment of homeless people throughout the city. The Homeless Housewife was established in 2011 as an independent agency, to evaluate and monitor how homeless families are treated by the nationally funded outreach agencies in Santa Barbara, California. In recent years, outreach personnel, and other public agencies have made efforts to reach out to homeless families, explaining the process and lending support. The existence of The Homeless Housewife provides oversight and advocacy when the outreach agencies fails them. There are many women and children that become homeless annually.

It is our contention that our children's true best interests are not always met when their is government intervention into the family unit. We believe our children need to share in the lives of both of their fit and willing parents. Unfortunately, in matters of family law and child protective services, matters of generating income and alienating our children from one of their parents or even the family unit as a whole all to often come between the true best interests of their children. It is our belief that is both parents wish to share in the lives of their parents and both parents are fit and willing, equally shared parenting should always be the default.
