Our Mission
The mission of Borromeo Housing, Inc. (BHI) is to empower young single mothers to create a self-sustaining future through education, counseling and support, while they reside in our safe home. BHI closely monitors the infants of our young mothers to ensure the children are parented responsibly, receive appropriate medical care, and meet individual developmental benchmarks. In this way, BHI is determined to present two generations of at-risk youth with alternatives to the perils of neglect, poor education, and inter-generational poverty.
BHI In Action
BHI has helped hundreds of young mothers since 1988, empowering them to create a self-sustaining future through education, counseling and support. Programs include the flagship residential program, Infant Care Supply Center, and extended community outreach. If you would like to help us in our mission to empower young single mothers to create a self-sustaining future, please consider donating or volunteering.
