» Wolfe Apartments

This transitional living complex opened in 2003 and was named for Catherine Wolfe who gifted St. Matthew's the land it was built on. The Wolfe Apartments consist of four buildings with 46 units located in Golden Gate. The facility provides a drug-free, alcohol-free structured community with guidance and support provided by an on-site staff. Twenty permanent units are dedicated to the permanently disabled with rents adjusted to their income. St. Matthew's House looks to our supporters to help subsidize these units.

The Wolfe Apartments offers our main facilities residents who graduate from our "Recovery Program" and homeless in our community an opportunity to move from a hopeless situation to self sufficiency, in an affordable and supportive place to live. The need for affordable housing in our community is well documented. Those trying to make a new beginning are often confronted by overwhelming financial roadblocks. The Wolfe Apartments attempts to help address this issue.

Those coming to the Wolfe Apartments must meet all the requirements of SMH plus they must show the ability to take on the responsibilities of their own home. They will have the same structure as our shelter and are required to meet with case managers to work on the issues that led to their homelessness. An average stay at the non-permanent units is two years. We often see these individuals and families go on to purchase their own home and on a new life path that seemed unattainable to them when they came to us.
