Resource Highlight: Our Mothers House is a non-profit, non-denominational residential housing program offered by Catholic Charities, Diocese of Venice, Inc. Our Mission is to provide single mothers and their child(ren) 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 regard to race, ethnicity or religion. Applicants are admitted as residents dependent upon available space and the appropriateness of our services to meet the applicants needs. Residents have their own apartments and have access to on-site laundry facilities. A case management team is on duty during the day to provide guidance and assistance to mothers who have chosen to accept the responsibility of raising their child on their own. Childrens First runs an Early Head Start program on-site at Our Mothers House. These teachers, in addition to our volunteers, ensure that the children are cared for while their mothers are at school or work. Because of this program, the children gain the skills and abilities they need to enter the public school system.
