Our Mission
Restoring hope, one woman at a time.
Fred and Cora's Place exists to provide women facing mental health and addiction challenges with a safe, loving, and structured home. We walk alongside each woman as she rebuilds her health, her confidence, and her connections, so she can move forward with dignity and purpose.
Our mission is to provide a safe, sober, and supportive home where women can reconnect, rebuild, and rise. We believe in the power of community, the importance of independence, and the strength that comes from resilience.
With a focus on mental wellness and emotional, physical, nutritional, cultural, and intellectual growth, we offer real support for real life. In a structured, empowering environment, we help women set boundaries, build confidence, and move forward with purpose, pride, and lasting self-worth.

Who We Are
More than a residence. A home.
Fred and Cora's Place was founded by Sheena Somerville in honor of her grandparents, Fred and Cora Somerville. Born in the late 1930s and early 1940s, they came of age in a trying time that demanded courage, faith, and resilience.
In 1963 they escaped the deep-rooted segregation of Alabama and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, in search of hope and opportunities based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
Sheena carries that same spirit forward. Inspired by her grandparents, she created Fred and Cora's Place to offer hope and opportunity to women in need, whatever their background or circumstances.
We understand that recovery is not a straight line. Our home gives women the structure, encouragement, and stability they need to heal from addiction and manage their mental health, surrounded by people who believe in them.
