Daybreak Designs is a member-run arts and crafts business which began operation in 1999. It empowers women recovering from homelessness and mental illness to rebuild their lives through creative, personal and financial growth.

This model program for chronically homeless women provides a stable living environment for women living with mental illness to have direct access to a full range of services. The program includes interim housing with 30 beds and a day program for guests and graduates, in addition to Daybreak Designs.
