Casa Maria Catholic Worker Community (Tucson)

Casa Maria Catholic Worker Community in Tucson is a Catholic Worker house centered on nonviolence, voluntary poverty, prayer, and hospitality for people experiencing homelessness, exile, hunger, or hardship. Its work includes acts of mercy such as providing food and clothing and visiting people who are ill, alongside efforts to challenge injustice, war, racism, and violence. Learn more about its history and values.

Casa Maria also focuses on decent, affordable housing in South Tucson. According to its official account, Casa Maria and partner Barrios Unidos Land Trust purchase residential properties and remove them from the speculative market, then rent units to low-income families, prioritizing residents with historic ties to South Tucson who face displacement. The organization describes this housing work as part of an effort to preserve a housing future for low-income residents and support community control of housing.
