Become a beacon of hope for our moms and babies. Our Steps to Independence Program has an urgent need for core support.  Given the current economic climate, Casa Teresa has seen an increase in service requests.  We are at capacity and our core program, Steps to Independence, is straining as a result.  Your immediate support will help to ensure that the women in our program continue to receive the support they need to break the cycle of abuse, addiction and homelessness and to provide a safe environment for our moms and their babies.

Pregnant and Alone?
Make a Life Decision!

For the past 34 years, Casa Teresa has been home to more than 2,400 pregnant women.  Casa Teresa provides an array of services such as counseling and educational programs that prepare these women to make loving and informed life decisions for themselvews and their babies. place for women who have chosen to keep their babies after birth or place them for adoption.  These women come from all areas and all walks of life to an environment of shared housing, responsibility and rehabilitation. 

We offer three separate residential programs:

The Casa Teresa experience is transformational, offering women with no means of support the opportunity to become self-sufficient.
