Elizabeth House
- Oakland Elizabeth House is a residence for single women and women with
children who have experienced homelessness, violence, addiction or poverty.
Established in 1991, our mission is to support women and children in their
transition to independence. We are dedicated to creating, nurturing and
maintaining a cooperative living environment of hospitality and respect in the
Catholic Worker tradition. Each year we serve more than 200 women and
children. Our primary role is to provide stability and a home where residents
can prepare themselves and their families for what lies before them. We work
to assist women in finding educational resources, gainful employment and
securing permanent housing. St. Theresa Parish Opportunities for support:
- Thanksgiving Meals
- Adopt a Family at Christmas Time
- Ongoing donations of clothing/furniture for the House
- Volunteer opportunities on Monday nights doing childcare while the Mom's are
attending a house meeting. - Volunteering in the office helping with data base management, newsletter

rooms ready for incoming residents - cleaning, painting, new linens, welcome
