Casa Marianella welcomes displaced immigrants and promotes self-sufficiency by providing shelter and support services.
In addition to shelter, Casa offers access to legal and medical resources, food, clothing, English classes, and other resources. The majority of our residents come to us directly from detention centers. Casa Marianella started in 1986 as one home for men, women and children, but as Casa has grown, a nearby branch site was created in 2003 for women with children (many of whom are escaping domestic or cultural violence) and named Posada Esperanza. Casa Marianella currently consists of our adult shelter, our shelter for women and children, Posada Esperanza and our family shelter, Abri Lumiere. Our agency as a whole shelters an average of 325 individuals annually.
Contact Casa Marianella directly at 512-385-5571 Monday – Friday from 8am-6pm. Please contact a staff member before arriving at Casa Marianella.
