Mission Statement:

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s mission is threefold, we:

1. Provide healing and care to those in need at programs for vulnerable children and adults in Maryland,
2. Educate people to social awareness and motive then to act, and
3. Advocate for public policy that ensures a just society.

In a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, My Sister’s Place Women’s Center (MSPWC) provides women with pathways to increased income, improved health, sustainable housing, and community integration.

Program History:

My Sister’s Place Women’s Center is a comprehensive resource center welcoming Baltimore’s homeless and poor women and their children. The mission of the program is to provide a safe, supportive environment where vulnerable women and their families can access housing, referrals, life skills training, and other resources to achieve and sustain self-sufficiency.

MSPWC is the combined home of three Catholic Charities programs: My Sister's Place, the Samaritan Center, and Families that Work, and provides, among other things, housing assistance, education and life skills training, benefits advice and enrollment, case management, emergency financial assistance, linkages to other community providers (e.g., for mental health and addiction services), financial literacy services, and personal services (e.g., shower and laundry facilities, mail and telephone access, etc.) MSPWC also provides three meals each day to women and children in need. We are currently serving between 50 and 125 women and children daily.
