In an attempt to alleviate the problems of homelessness and poverty in the community, a new temporary housing unit for women is opening its doors in Jamaica.
Located at 87-91 144th Street, the center is operated by ICNA Relief USA, a subdivision of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a nationally-recognized Islamic, non-profit organization that has been serving both the Muslim and non-Muslim communities since its inception in 1967.
The shelter will provide clean and safe housing for women living in extreme poverty, who are 18 years of age and older, legal residents of the United States, and demonstrate a desire to become self-sufficient and independent. Although ICNA is a Muslim organization, the center is open to all women regardless of religion or ethnicity as long as they follow the rules of no substance abuse, no violence, no foul language, and no men in the house. The shelter includes four bedrooms with a total of 10 beds for the women, a room for the resident counselor and a cozy kitchen, where food will be provided.
