Guadalupe Home

Guadalupe Home is a transitional shelter for pregnant and parenting mothers and their babies who find themselves homeless and are interested in making a change for a hopeful future through full-time education enrollment or employment. Case management, parenting education, life skills training, and counseling are provided.

Mothers and babies receive free room and board with the condition that they attend school or work full time to save money for the next step in their journey. While living in the care of Catholic Charities, mothers are empowered to achieve their goals and plan for their future.

Our goal is to provide basic needs while a mother works toward self-sufficiency by getting an education, finding a job, and saving money for the next step in her journey.

Homeless or lack a stable residence

Seeking employment or are employed with the goal of financial independence

Support services are provided to nurture families and promote self-sufficiency:

Financial Literacy – Staff and volunteers host classes and provide guidance to mothers to pay debt and save for a secure future.

On behalf of Guadalupe Home, we invite you to join us in sponsoring this year’s Fandango Under the Stars event on February 25, 2023 at Pedrotti’s Ranch! On this special night, we celebrate hope and healing for mothers and their children on their journey to self-sufficiency.

Fandango Under the Stars is Guadalupe Home’s primary fundraising initiative and will include dinner, dancing, auctions, and family-friendly activities. Guadalupe Home is a transitional shelter for adult women who are pregnant or parenting and are in need of shelter and basic necessities. We also provide support services and personal growth opportunities in a home-like environment for mothers and their children to nurture the family unit.

Guadalupe Home is largely dependent on the financial support of friends like you! Please consider a tax-deductible sponsorship to support moms and children in need.
