Our Services

Mary & Martha House offers a safe environment where abused and homeless women and their children in Hillsborough County can regroup and begin their journey toward personal and economic independence. To fulfill this mission, our organization provides:

Shelter

Short-Term Emergency Shelter
When a crisis strikes, it's critical for women and their children to get to a safe place quickly. That's why Mary & Martha House works with referring agencies to get women in need into emerency housing immediately. Our efforts during these difficult times are delivered with compassion and respect.

Temporary Housing
Mary & Martha House also provides temporary housing for women and children in transition. These facilities provide a safe and nurturing place where the healing process can begin.
