Opening Doors
Opening Doors, a community service organization initiated by six Catholic women religious congregations in the Dubuque area, offers women, alone or with children, an opportunity to rebuild their lives. Through transitional housing at Maria House and short-term emergency/transitional housing at Teresa Shelter, Opening Doors embodies the values of compassion, respect, affirmation and hospitality.
Upholding the dignity of women, Opening Doors gives women a secure, stable environment in which to address their needs, pursue education and resume independent living. Since 2000, Opening Doors has provided a home to over 1,700 homeless women and children.
