Thank you for visiting our future website.
We were founded in 1923 as an offshoot of the YWCA by the Catholic League of Women to assist and support travelers. From this beginning, our programs began with the simple idea of protecting stranded people, especially women and children, from those who would use, abuse or victimize them in their time of misfortune. Ensuring a safe haven was the hallmark of Travelers Aid – regardless of age, gender or beliefs. It is the oldest, non-sectarian, social welfare organization in the United States.
We help over 55,000 people each year at Metro Airport alone.
We help over approximately 250 runaways return home each year (Interstate Compact).
We help approximately 2,500 homeless people each year.
The average annual income of those we help is less than $2,000.
What we do –
The underlying thread of all Travelers Aid's programs is the in-depth Case Management provided to each client. This holistic approach is designed to stabilize and empower individuals and families to become self-sufficient.
Our Core Services program provides Comprehensive Case Management, long & short term counseling, transportation assistance, and housing assistance. Passenger information, referrals, and protective travel are provided through our booths located at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
