You deserve a place where you can heal. Where your children can feel safe. Where you can learn the skills to build a better life.
Perpetual Help Home gives women and their children a safe place to live. We help you find a job. We teach you how to manage money. We walk with you as you rebuild your life.
No matter what brought you here, you can start fresh.
On September 1, 2025, something powerful happened.
Perpetual Help Home joined forces with Billy T. Cattan Recovery Outreach. Now, we can help you in more ways than ever before.
Before, you had to go to different places for different kinds of help. Treatment here. Housing there. Support somewhere else.
Not anymore.
Now, we offer everything you need under one roof. Professional counseling. Safe housing. Job training. Medical care. All working together to help you succeed.
Outpatient treatment. Road to Hope Ranch. Perpetual Help Home. Treatment, housing, and hope. Now united as one mission.
This partnership makes us stronger. And it makes your path to recovery clearer.
When you walk through our doors, you’re not alone anymore.
We give you a safe place to live. We teach you skills you need for a job. We surround you with people who care about your success.
Our approach is simple: meet you where you are. Then walk with you, step by step, toward where you want to be.
You and your children get your own bedroom in our home. Three meals a day. A warm bed. A locked door that keeps danger out.
But that’s just the beginning.
Our home has 17 bedrooms. That means you live with other women who understand what you’re going through. Women who cheer for you. Women who become like family.
You can stay as long as you need to get on your feet. Some women stay a few months. Others stay longer. We don’t rush you out the door.
The goal is simple: when you leave, you’re ready to stay independent.
You might not know how to write a resume. That’s okay. We’ll teach you.
You might have never opened a bank account. That’s okay too. We’ll show you how.
Our program teaches you everything you need to live on your own:
We start small. At first, we help you with almost everything. Then, little by little, you do more on your own. By the time you leave, you’re running your own life.
That’s not an accident. That’s our plan.
Here’s what we’ve learned in 30 years: women who connect with a church do better. They have people to call when times get hard. They have a place to go every week where people know their name.
Faith is part of our program. We help you find a local church where you feel welcome. Where you can make friends. Where people will support you long after you leave our home.
This isn’t about following rules. It’s about building a community around you.
Because when you have people who believe in you, you start to believe in yourself.
Every woman has a story. Yours might be different from the woman living in the next room. But one thing is the same: you deserve a chance to write a better ending. We help women who face hard situations:
You paid your debt to society. Now you need a place to start over. We're here for you.
Substance abuse is powerful. But recovery is more powerful. Especially when you don't fight alone.
Homelessness isn't a character flaw. It's a situation. And situations can change.
You were brave enough to leave. Now let us help you stay safe and build a new life.
Your kids need you. You need support. We make sure families can stay together while mom gets back on her feet.
We don't care about your past. We care about your future.
No judgment. No shame. Just real help from people who want to see you succeed.
In 2024 alone, we helped over 100 women and children find safety, stability, and hope.
We are blessed beyond measure to serve these women and children.
Every number you see below represents a real person. A woman who found courage. A child who felt safe. A family that stayed together.
“Recovery means having opportunity I didn’t have before. Having opportunity means being able to be a great wife, mother, and member of my community.”
Yuvonda came to us with nowhere else to turn. Today, she’s thriving. She has a job. A home. A future.
Growing up my childhood was rough. Mom was in her addiction and I said when I get older I am never going to be that way. Well, I am here to tell you I did just that. I was using drugs just to have fun. I was holding down a job, taking care of my oldest daughter while trying to settle down. I got married and found out I was pregnant with my second child. She was born May of 2017 and then hurricane Harvey hit in August of 2017. I was living in Rockport and needless to say, Harvey took my home away from my family and we lost everything. My husband was focused on things he had going on and not his family so eventually he left us to bounce from place to place. Struggling to take care of my daughters, pain began to layer, leading to my addiction growing. Not wanting my daughters to go through the same things I did as a child, I asked my sister to take them in. Knowing that was the better choice at the time, the pain I felt no longer having them at my side was nothing like I ever felt before.
Having been on the streets for four years I needed to get my life together for my daughters. I was scared and knew I needed help. February 7, 2022, I moved into Perpetual Help Home and things began to change for me. I finally received the help I desperately needed from Ms. Leesa and Mrs. Stella. They selected me for the receptionist program, I learned how to interact with people again and it helped build my self-confidence. Regaining my power back gave me the strength to stay sober for 9 months. Now I have both of my wonderful daughters living back with me. My relationship with God is stronger and growing. Because of Perpetual my world is finally coming together and there are no words to express how grateful I am.
In 1995, a small group of people saw a problem. Women were being released from prison with nowhere to go. Without support, they often ended up right back in jail.
That had to change.
So these concerned citizens opened a small home. A place where women could heal. Where they could learn. Where they could become who they were meant to be.
Here’s how we grew:
Perpetual Help Home began with a simple mission: give women a second chance.
We opened our first residential home. Small, but full of hope.
We moved to a bigger facility. Now mothers could bring their children. Families could stay together.
A generous donor gave us property in Yoakum. Our reach expanded.
We renovated a larger facility. We purchased the home at 705 E. Santa Rosa in Victoria. 17 bedrooms. Room for more women. More children. More second chances.
We served hundreds of women and children. We watched them transform their lives. We celebrated their victories.
Perpetual Help Home joined Billy T. Cattan Recovery Outreach. Together, we're stronger than ever.
For 30 years, one thing has never changed: we believe in you. We believe you can change. We believe your best days are ahead of you.
And we’ve been proven right hundreds of times.
We can’t do this alone. We need you.
Every dollar you give keeps our doors open. Every hour you volunteer changes a life. Every prayer you say matters.
Here’s how you can help:
Your money creates miracles
Your donation pays for:
Even $25 makes a difference. $100 changes a week of someone’s life. $500 changes a month.
Imagine what your generosity could create.
Your time changes lives
We need people who will:
You don’t need special training. You just need to care.
