Naomi’s House at Holy Cross

A path forward, built on compassion

Newly renovated and thoughtfully designed, the 2,400-square-foot facility includes:

• Comfortable 90-day housing for up to 30 women
• Private showers, laundry and sleeping areas
• Full kitchen and dining area
• Dedicated learning and community space
• Onsite support services through Poverello House

Future plans include a community garden and medical clinic, expanding access to fresh air, holistic healing and essential care.

A legacy of care more than 40 years strong

Saint Agnes and Poverello House have partnered for decades to serve women and families in greatest need. From the founding of the Holy Cross Center for Women to today’s expanded Holy Cross Health and Wellness Center, our shared mission remains the same: to care for every person with dignity, compassion and hope.

It is a privilege to carry forward the mission of the Sisters of the Holy Cross by providing a safe space for women through a renovated Naomi’s House and future initiatives.”
— Ivonne Der Torosian, VP, Community Health & Well-Being, Saint Agnes Medical Center

We're building more than a shelter

Naomi’s House at Holy Cross is a space for women to feel seen, supported and reminded that healing is possible. By provided well-rounded care in a safe, stable environment, we’re helping women take meaningful steps towards independence and renewed confidence.

This work is made possible through strong partnerships, the dedication of our teams and the generosity of a community that believes in supporting others, because when we come together with compassion and purpose, we don’t just change lives—we save them.
