Oakland Elizabeth House

Oakland Elizabeth House Elizabeth House is a transitional residence for single women and women with children who have experienced homelessness, violence, addiction or poverty.

https://www.yumraising.com/secure/oaklandeh_oakland_elizabeth_house82/MarLan7468/ We are located in a former convent at St. Augustine Church, in the Rockridge neighborhood of North Oakland, California. A unique aspect of Elizabeth House is that staff and residents live and work together in a co-op model. Decisions about life in the House are made by all of the women at our weekly community House M

eeting. This keeps women in control of their home life, providing an opportunity to practice effective communication and decision-making skills. Women develop a sense of their own power by using it constructively. Unlike most homeless programs, Elizabeth House belongs to the women who live here. Each woman has her own key to the front door and to her bedroom. This is their home.

It's always special to see our community come together around music and a good cause. ❤️

A huge thank you to the Patiyochella team for choosing to support Oakland Elizabeth House through this year’s event. We love seeing local music, local businesses, and community come together for something bigger than themselves. It’s always inspiring to watch people use their talents and creativity to create a positive impact.

Thank you to the artists, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who plans to attend. Your support helps make our work possible, and we never take that generosity for granted.

See you at Gilman Wine Block on July 11! 🎶✨

Oakland has faced a lot. And every single time, it's the people who pull it through. 🧡

This city doesn't wait for someone else to step in. That's why our See's Candies fundraiser works because when Oaklanders see a need, they show up. Every order from our storefront helps women and children in our community find safe, stable housing and build a path toward independence.

This is a city that has always shown up for its most vulnerable. That's who we are. 💛

Oakland Elizabeth House has spent over 30 years being a reflection of Oakland at its best, neighbors looking out for neighbors, and community protecting community. Women and children in our city need safe housing right now. Real community means showing up, taking action, and making sure no one is left behind.

The ripple doesn't stop with her. It reaches her kids, and their kids after them. 🌊

When a woman rebuilds her life at Ehouse, she doesn't just change her own story; she rewrites the one her children were headed toward. Stability today becomes the foundation of a generation that doesn't have to face what she faced.

Your support today is an investment in Oakland's next generation. Donate today!

Swipe through this is what we're building toward together. 🌱

The work Ehouse does today doesn't just change one woman's life. It shapes her children's future, and their children's future after that. Over 30 years in, the proof is in the numbers and in the families who've never looked back.

Help us keep building. Donate at oakehouse.org or shop our See's storefront at the link in bio.

Real community doesn't wait to be asked. It just shows up. 🙌

Oakland has always known how to take care of its own. Right now, women and children in our city need safe housing, and our See's Candies storefront makes it genuinely easy to be part of the solution. Order for yourself. Order for a friend. Either way, you're showing up.

Children are the fastest-growing group experiencing homelessness in this country. Let that land.

Most of them are under six years old. At Ehouse, we don't just house individuals, we house families. Which means your support reaches the youngest, most vulnerable, and most impacted people in Oakland right now.

Protect Oakland's children. Donate today.

'Just get a job' it sounds simple. But it ignores everything. 🔄

Without an address, you can't get hired. Without childcare, you can't work. Without income, you can't rent. Without credit, you can't qualify. It's a loop with no easy exit. Ehouse breaks it by untangling all of it at once: housing, employment, finances, and childcare, because that's the only approach that actually works.
