About
Founded in 1996 by the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia, Transitional Housing BARN Inc. opened its doors to the homeless women and children of Prince William County, Virginia in the spring of 1997.
Nestled in the tranquil acreage of the St. Benedictine Monastery in the growing Bristow community, BARN is a secular not-for-profit organization that provides housing, supportive services, life management skills and financial education for homeless women and their dependent children.
Comprised of three large apartments we call neighborhoods, our facility can house up to 12 families at a time, four to each neighborhood. The moms and their children have their own spacious bedroom with a bathroom and share the common living spaces - living room, playroom, kitchen, dining room, pantries and laundry area - with the other mothers in their neighborhood.
