La Casa de las Madres

La Casa de las Madres was founded in 1976 by a group of Bay Area women, most of whom had experienced domestic violence as victims or as daughters of abused mothers. Deeply motivated by the death of her mother, one of the founders set forth to establish a place where women could seek refuge from domestic violence; where they would be safe, cared for, and allowed to regain physical strength and self-esteem. Their refuge would be named La Casa de las Madres--The Home of the Mothers. Today, La Casa offers emergency shelter to women and their children while providing advocacy, counseling, family-based services and referrals. Our downtown office houses our two 24-hour crisis lines, Drop-In Counseling Center, Teen Intervention and Prevention Program, and Community Education and Outreach Program as well as our administration.

Gerards House

Gerard's House is a safe place for grieving children and teenagers where healing happens through acceptance and peer support. Our goal is to help children, teens and families heal when their lives have been changed by a loved one’s death or other significant losses. We support them through natural grieving processes, to enable them to regain hope, stabilize physically and emotionally, and re-engage in their schools, families and lives. A priority is removing barriers to participation for the most vulnerable individuals so that they can receive real help as they grapple with unimaginable losses. We do that through outreach, by providing a mobile unit for home visits, by offering programs in schools and by support children whose families have come from Mexico and Central America.
