The Joseph House helps people facing evictions, utility cut-offs, and other financial emergencies. We also provide food, clothing, and an outreach to the homeless men and women.
The Joseph House also runs a long-term shelter that prepares homeless men to find gainful employment.
In the words of our founder, Sr. Mary Elizabeth Gintling:
“Our work with the poor, oppressed and troubled is our source of life and breath. Families without shelter, food, decent drinking water, clothing, and medicine, as well as those who are victims of the system are the target of our services and prayers. Helping prevent evictions, mortgage foreclosures, the turn-off of gas, electric, and water, budgeting and counseling, instructing and praying, sharing tears and laughter are our daily activities.”
