Our mission is to provide a warm, safe, and caring environment for homeless women. Our goal is to foster each woman's self worth by treating her with respect and kindness. We believe that our clients deserve the dignity of choice as well as care that respects their privacy without precondition.

We provide cold weather emergency shelter to adult women age 18 and over in Montgomery County, Maryland. We are open from 7pm to 7am from November 1 through March 31.

Rainbow Place is now closed for the season.  We will be re-opening on November 1, 2008 at 7pm.  If you are a woman seeking shelter contact the Montgomery County Crisis Center at 240-777-4000.
