Our Impact

All people who arrive in this country posses true gifts and capabilities to live a meaningful and productive life. Most asylum seekers want the opportunity to live in a safe environment where they can create a healthy and productive life for their families. They are filled with hope and the desire to work and educate their children, but often do not possess the tools or resources to fulfill these goals. The availability of safe shelter not only staves off homelessness in our community, but also protects this vulnerable population from threats of crimes such as human trafficking and extortion. Offering hope through hospitality, along with other vital resources, Casa Mateo provides an opportunity for families to not only survive, but to thrive in our community.
