El Paso Villa Maria
Every woman deserves a place to rebuild. Villa Maria is the only residential program in El Paso dedicated to long-term transitional housing for single women experiencing homelessness whose children are not in their care. Each woman receives a private room, daily meals, and individualized case management, with a case manager who walks beside her from her first day to her last. Together they work on counseling, job readiness, digital literacy, budgeting and savings, life skills, and benefits, with referrals to mental health and substance abuse treatment, all within a community of faith and hope. Our mission is to address the root of homelessness and help each woman find employment, emotional and mental stability, and a permanent home with the resources to stay housed for good. This El Paso Giving Day, join us in helping her get there.

Villa Maria is the only transitional shelter for women in El Paso.

We provide a home where single women who are homeless can transition from crisis to self-sufficiency while living within a safe, supportive, and spiritual community.

Many residents come to Villa Maria after a series of hardships that have left them with few resources and little support. Through a caring community and individualized services, women find hope, encouragement, healing, and the empowerment to move forward.
