La Casa de Don Pedro

Since its founding in 1972 in Newark, New Jersey, La Casa de Don Pedro's values have been driven by a mission to foster self-sufficiency, empowerment, and neighborhood revitalization, and a deep-rooted history of shared experiences with the community. Recognizing the greater Newark community's adversity, La Casa emphasizes, celebrates, and nurtures core values of advocacy, responsibility (civic, personal, financial), education, home, diversity, and creativity in a culturally sensitive and caring environment. La Casa de Don Pedro offers a comprehensive, nurturing, proven solution that addresses the social determinants of health, providing safety, stability, tools, resources, and opportunities that enrich peoples' lives and builds social capital, helping them overcome their adverse experiences and become economically prosperous.
