A shelter bed
Keeps someone alive. Was never built to keep them.

The hard part
isn't leaving.
It's where you go next.
Safe, affordable, structured independent living for adults ready to move from crisis into stability. Not a shelter. Not a program. A room of your own, and a path forward.
Leaving an unsafe home? Read this first . We never publish the location of our homes.
The gap
They're ready. There's just nowhere to go.
Nothing
Out of reach
A lease of their own
Wants first, last, deposit, credit, and a rental history they do not have yet.
Between these two things, for most people, there is nothing at all. That is where we go.
Clarity, up front
Most housing sites make you guess. We'll just tell you.
A case manager should be able to rule us in or out in four seconds, without a phone call and without reading a brochure.
We are
- Room-based independent living in clean, safe homes
- Affordable, all-inclusive rent
- Supportive structure and accountability
- A pathway to long-term stability and self-sufficiency
We are not
- A homeless shelter
- A drug or alcohol treatment facility
- A halfway house or correctional program
- 24-hour supervised or medical care
Need one of these? We'll say so quickly and point you somewhere better. A fast no is worth more to you than a slow maybe.

The path
From referral to keys.
No mystery, no black box. Here is exactly what happens.
-
Referral
A partner submits a referral form with client information. An individual can also reach out directly, with no referral needed.
-
Screening
We review the referral for eligibility and current availability, and respond promptly either way.
-
Interview
We meet with the client by phone or in person. It is a straightforward conversation to make sure the fit is right, for them and for us.
-
Placement
Successful candidates complete move-in and orientation, and receive the keys to their room.
Before you fill in a single form
Find out in thirty seconds.
Seven questions. No contact details, nothing saved. You'll get a straight answer either way, and if we're not the right fit we'll tell you who might be.
Who is this for?
The questions are the same either way. We just want to talk to you properly.
For shelters & case managers
What a referral partnership does for you.

Every placement opens an emergency bed for the person who needs it most tonight.
- 03
Give your client a real next step
A room, a lease-like structure, and a path toward their own place.

Strengthen community outcomes
We are the next step after the foundation you’ve created.
Where we serve
Headquartered in Erie. Working across three states.
We partner with shelters and agencies, and accept direct applications, throughout all three.
“We don't just provide a place to stay. We provide a path forward.”
Marquetta Christmon, Founder & Owner
Stability. Opportunity. A fresh start.
Who this is for
People who did everything right, and still ran out of options.
A nurse after a divorce. A father after a layoff. A woman who finally left. They are not a category, and they were not asking for much. They just needed the one step that wasn't there.

Who you're working with
Built on standards, not promises.
Christmon Housing Solutions is a Pennsylvania company founded and run by Marquetta Christmon. We provide furnished, all-inclusive rooms in clean, well-kept homes, with the structure and stability people need to move forward.
Our standards are written down and published, not left to chance. The screening criteria on this site are the criteria we actually use. The process on this site is the process residents actually go through. What you read here is what you get.
We never advertise our properties, for safety purposes. We house survivors of domestic violence, and keeping the location of their home private is our priority.
Wherever you're standing, there's a door.
