Mission
The mission of Borromeo Housing is to establish and successfully operate Elizabeth House, a residential program for homeless adolescent mothers and their children. For twenty years, the Elizabeth House program has not only kept adolescents and their babies safe in the short term, but has demonstrated promise in helping these young women and their babies in the long term.
The results of our program are promising:
- over 90 percent of program graduates are living independently and have created stable nurturing homes for their children,
- zero repeated unplanned pregnancies,
- 100 percent school attendance,
- 100 percent immunizations,
- increased reunification with families,
- 100 percent employment,
- decreased dependency on TANF, WIC, and food stamps, and
- 85 percent enrollment in technical/post secondary educational facilities.
