“For 22 years, Casa Esperanza has been a sanctuary for people struggling to overcome substance abuse addictions. Thanks to Casa Esperanza’s attention and support for long-term needs like education, housing and job training, countless people in our community have overcome incredible odds and rebuilt their lives.”

Speaker of the House, Salvatore F. DiMasi

Casa Esperanza’s mission is to help men, women and families overcome homelessness, recover from alcoholism and drug addiction, gain the skills they need to be self-sufficient, contributing members of society and to repair and strengthen families torn apart by substance abuse.

Casa Esperanza recently celebrated the installation of original artwork donated by local artists through The Art Connection. We are fortunate to be a home for 25 artworks, which helps us increase the sense of community and home-like environment for the individuals we serve.

The Art Connection is a nonprofit organization that seeks to enrich under-served communities by expanding public access to original works of art. For more information, please visit http://www.theartconnection.org/
