About Us
Casa Milagro is a safe, trusting, and nurturing community for unhoused adults with a mental health diagnosis that makes maintaining housing difficult. Each of our twelve residents has a private bedroom in a large home with ample common spaces: living room, dining room, art studio, activity room, shady portals, and landscaped yards. The house is designed to balance privacy and community, giving and receiving companionship and support.
Our Story
With equal parts compassion, vision, and gritty determination, Meryl Lieberman and Carol Luna Anderson founded Casa Milagro in 1995. Their goal was to provide a safe, supportive, reliable home to people experiencing a spectrum of challenging mental health diagnoses.​
​
Meryl says, “Casa Milagro was founded on an assumption that belonging and being a part of the bigger whole is the real healing force...We were very intentional in that regard.”

"I love the mission of Casa Milagro and the healing safety it provides. This work is close to my heart. My nephew is diagnosed with schizophrenia, and it keeps him from maintaining housing. He constantly moves between being unhoused and jail. Having an untreated mental health diagnosis complicates a person's life and leaves them at great risk. Every state needs a hundred Casa Milagros!"
