About Parisi House

Parisi House provides a safe and nurturing place for moms and their kids, who are often caught in a cycle of addiction, trauma, poverty and social injustice. We help to keep children out of foster care by offering moms who risk losing custody of their kids the opportunity to break free from addiction while strengthening the bond with their children. We work with women who can’t afford expensive recovery centers and offer our services at no cost.

Many of the moms who stay with us had challenging upbringings themselves, and some started using drugs and alcohol to dull the pain caused by abuse or neglect. Unfortunately, without intervention, this cycle often continues in families.

We offer individualized treatment plans, and women and their children age 5 and younger can stay with us for three to six months depending on their needs. Parisi House provides a structured environment where moms follow a routine. They attend classes, work with their counselors, and share cooking and cleaning duties with the other moms. Kids benefit from intensive child development services while their moms are in class.

Women learn valuable life skills at Parisi House that many were never taught growing up, empowering them to take control of their lives and become better parents for their kids. Children get the opportunity to bond with their mothers and get the loving care they need to grow up strong and healthy.

Our caring, compassionate staff members – some of whom have overcome addiction in their own lives – provide the affirmation and guidance many of these women never received growing up, which helps to promote healthy self-esteem and confidence so they can find success in recovery. Staff members come from diverse backgrounds and are able to provide culturally competent services for the multiethnic community we serve.

Parisi House is located in a peaceful setting that includes three buildings – an administration building where the clinical and administrative offices and infant child development room are located, a residential building where moms and their kids live, and the original home that now houses our child development room for toddlers and the group meeting room. We have living space for up to 20 mothers and 22 infants and young children, two large kitchens and family rooms, a laundry facility, and playgrounds with custom-designed structures for kids.
