Who we serve…
Our neighbors in naked city
Casa de Luz has faithfully served the area of Naked City for over 13 years. In this neighborhood, there are drugs, violence, and poverty affecting many of the people who live here. In the midst of this are amazing families who need light, love, and hope. We support them with our many programs that address food insecurity, education, ESL, and many other areas. Visit our program page to learn more.
our neighbors in sherwood forest
In the neighborhood of Sherwood Forest, located just southeast of Casa Naked City, families are struggling with many of the same barriers as in Naked City. The only difference is there is no park, community center, or other safe places for children. That is why we have decided to open a youth center in this neighborhood with a drop-in center, mentorship, and bible study for kids and teens. We will also offer case management for families.
Our neighbors in paradise flamingo
Our Paradise Youth Center is located in a family shelter close to areas we serve. Over 300 children are living there with their families. Most families come straight from living on the streets or becoming homeless in the last 24 hours. We provide a safe place for children to learn, heal, and grow, along with resources and services to help the family find stability and get back on their feet.
