Katherine's House and Rita's House
Katherine's House and Rita's House are innovative transitional housing programs of Catholic Community Services. With the proven success of Katherine's House and the generosity of our community, a second program - Rita's House, opened in December 2008. Katherine's House and Rita's House serve homeless, adult women in recovery from substance abuse. Program staff and volunteers offer structured, family-style living designed to assist women in returning to independent living as productive members of the community. Residents of both houses may stay up to two years.
While there, each resident develops a personal success plan tailored to her individual needs.
Our primary goals are to help these women find permanent, affordable housing, maintain sobriety, and reduce recidivism rates. 90% of women exiting the program in 2008 found affordable housing, have remained sober six months or more, and have not returned to jail.
Katherine’s House A Success Story
Juanita spent years in and out of jail and living on the streets. Three years ago she lost custody of her children. With the support of Katherine's House and program staff, Juanita was able to stabilize her life and began fulfilling her court obligations with the goal of regaining custody of her children. Juanita has completed Drug Court as well as graduated parenting classes. In March of 2009, Juanita was reunited with her children and she obtained housing for her family. Today, Juanita is receiving aftercare from program staff, remains clean and sober, and is enjoying having her children back.
