Welcome to St. Francis - St. Joseph Catholic Worker House

The St. Francis – St. Joseph Catholic Worker House provides a safe, supportive home for men experiencing homelessness, often in early recovery or reentering society after incarceration. Our 16-bed house serves men who are ready to make a personal commitment to rebuilding their lives — one grounded in sobriety, structure, and responsibility.

We welcome individuals who are ready to make a fresh start and are willing to participate in a clean, sober, and community-oriented environment. Our goal is simple: to help men stabilize, find direction, and transition into independent living.
