About Grandma's House

Grandma’s House of Hope is a multi-generational continuum of care designed to provide services, programs and affordable housing to under served and under priviledge persons in Orange County and surrounding areas. Through our integrated programs, such as the Grandma's House Women's Transitional Living Shelter and Nana's Kidz,  Grandma's House strives to create a sense of community, belonging and stablility. Through service to each other and to their community, women become empowered and achieve independence, accountability and spiritual growth.

Grandma's Women's Transitional Living Shelter House.

At the Grandma's House Women's Transitional Living Shelter, women (17 yrs and older) who have survived Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking, and/or Homelessness and who may struggle with an aftermath of addictions and compulsive disorders, are provided:

  • a safe place to rest their head,
  • encouragement to build their spiritual strength,
  • and time to heal their hearts.

Grandma's House is a 17 bed facility facilitated by many support resources aimed at renewal and societal reintegration. Understanding it is healing to be of service, Grandma's House women are  encouraged to volunteer 8 hours a month with one of Grandma's House programs or a charity of their choice. Personal savings accounts are established for each woman to assist in her eventual transition to permanent housing.  Although we do not accept children at this time, expectant mothers are welcome.  There is limited handicap access. 

Group One of the most popular avenues of service is participation in “Grandma’s Room” – a program designed to honor our seniors and their legacy. A cheerful visit from the girls in the program benefits all. It is our vision to represent the love of Jesus through regular visits to brighten “Grandma’s” day. Reading and prayer, a mini make over, afternoon tea with home made cookies and some flowers from the garden, a new nightgown or slippers for her birthday… these are some of the ways we can show Grandma we care and she matters. And “Grandma’s girls” learn to trust that they matter as well.

Nana's Kidz.

Nana’s Kidz is a nutritional support system for chronically hungry children in Orange County who rely almost entirely on the school cafeteria as their primary source of food. There are nearly 193,000 students who are in need of such assistance throughout Orange County. Numbers of them live in motels and shelters, but they may also live right next door to you. Many of them are only assured of the meal promised at the school “free lunch” program, so…. What happens to these kids over the weekend and when school is out of session? Through community collaboration, Grandma’s House provides weekly backpacks full of nutritious food for deserving kids.
