Project Independence is a HomeAid Care project designed to renovate and restore five apartments and two common area bathrooms for Santa Maria's Spring Branch location. These apartments will be used to assist Santa Maria in their effort to support and serve homeless female Veterans.
The mission of Santa Maria is to empower women and their children to become alcohol and drug free; the agency is also committed to providing services for community improvement and enrichment. It is the largest multi-site substance abuse treatment center serving both women and their children in the State of Texas. Over the past five years, Santa Maria has treated over 5,000 women.

Santa Maria Hostel Santa Maria has over 50 years of experience serving women in crisis, and continually responding to the emerging needs of the community we serve.

HomeAid will be partnering with the Greater Houston Builders Association's Remodelers Council on this project. The Remodelers Council is providing remodelers and associates, who will work in teams to demolish and completely refurbish the apartment bathrooms.
In addition, designers will work with each team to "beautify" the apartment, providing fresh paint, new linens, storage solutions and special touches. Please check our registry pages at bed Bath and Beyond for items they need.
The registry can be accessed under HomeAid Houston, with the first name: HomeAid and last name: Houston or through http://tinyurl.com/ProjectIndependenceRegistry.
1-800-Mattress is donating 23 mattress and box spring sets.
