Charity of the Month

     

Our Mother's House   

Our Mother's House is a non-profit, non-denominational residential  housing program offered by Catholic Charities, Diocese of Venice, Inc. 

Their mission is to provide single mothers and their children a safe and secure environment in which to achieve self-sufficiency through education, vocational training and personal growth. Priority is given to mothers who are currently homeless or in another shelter. Applications are accepted without regards to race, ethnicity or religion. 

Our Mother's House provides low cost housing and free child care so that residents can attend school and work. Each resident works with a caseworker to create a plan for achieving their school and work goals. On-site programs such as parenting, self-esteem and budgeting help residents develop life skills for independance and self-sufficiency. House meetings and shared responsibilities are requirements of the program. While living in a private apartment, the community setting teaches residents skills needed to live as a good neighbor and active citizen of a community.
