Empowering Homes: Family Apartment Solutions

At Catholic Charities, we understand the importance of secure and affordable housing. Our commitment to fostering vibrant communities is reflected in our two exceptional low-income housing programs designed to meet the diverse needs of individuals and families. Housing options range from cozy studios to spacious 4-bedroom apartments.

All tenants in our Supportive Housing program have access to case management and support services. Our Affordable Apartments program does not include these services.

To streamline the application process, we have separate applications for our Supportive Housing Program and our Affordable Family Apartments. Please review the Tenant Selection Plans included in each application for eligibility information!

“It is almost a miracle that, even in poverty, the family continues to form and even to conserve - as they can - the special humanity of their bonds. This fact irritates those planners of well-being who consider the affections, the generation, the family bonds, as a secondary variable of the quality of life. They do not understand anything! Instead, we should kneel before these families, who are a true school of humanity
that saves societies from barbarism...”
— Pope Francis, General Audience, St. Peter's Square, June 3, 2015
