Our Story
After the Rain of Southwest Florida, Inc.
Provides a path to independance for single women in transition through collaborative community support services. We empower women to become self-sufficient in safe transitional housing.
We provide a safe, fully furnished place to call home for single women with no children, who have been substance free for at least three months, can independently perform the activities of daily living, and can provide a supplemental, affordable rent while seeking permanent housing.
We refer residents to partner agencies for additional services to help them thrive and transition to self-sufficiency.
As a result of their Christian virtues, this non-profit home stays open only by “the Grace of God.” The shelter is always seeking funding to keep the program running mainly because of its policy to “turn no woman away.”

Our History
AFTER THE RAIN OF W FLORIDA, INC began with the vision of Beverly (Duncan) Johnson, who is a life long Lee County resident and member of Mount Olive African Methodist Episcopal Church. Beverly has been committed to providing shelter and a safe structured environment for women who have found themselves with no place to turn due to various issues including: substance abuse, domestic violence, incarceration and the absence of basic life skills.
Through her own recovery, which encompasses over twenty years of tireless service in our community, Beverly has partnered with numerous individuals and organizations who share her vision. The realization of this vision took substance with the incorporation of AFTER THE RAIN OF W FLORIDA, INC. on July 14, 2005.
