More About Casa Marianella:

Casa Marianella welcomes displaced immigrants and promotes self-sufficiency by providing shelter and support services.

Our ultimate vision is that all immigrants arriving in Austin will have safe housing and access to the services they need to be successful.

Two clusters of shelters in renovated houses in residential neighborhoods in East Austin serve women and children escaping violence and adult immigrants. In 2022, we added a house for families as well. Our shelters are home-like facilities designed to meet emergency or transitional needs so vulnerable and injured people can resolve their immediate crisis, get stabilized and once again become independent, which then opens up space for new residents. In 38 years, our population has evolved from survivors of the Salvadoran war to asylum seeking refugees and other immigrants from over 40 countries.

Casa Marianella is the only homeless shelter in Austin dedicated solely to immigrants. 65% of our shelter residents, including children, are asylum seekers, many coming to us from immigration detention.
