Celebrating 15 Years of
Empowering & Equipping
Women & Children
Our signature program, The HOME Program, employs trauma-informed
services to train and prepare mothers to take on the full responsibility of
being a homeowner and provider for their family. These include community
support, collaboration, intensive case management, intentional training, and
individualized lifework planning. The goal of this intensive program is to
equip women with the career and life skills to break their own homeless
cycle and achieve and maintain self- sufficiency.
​
Modules for Moms have five focus areas of life work planning to encourage self-improvement as they master skills in home ownership, career building, entrepreneurship, finances, and health literacy.

The HOME Program
Seed2Table
Seed2Table is NATASHA House’s on-site career readiness, horticulture education, and therapy community supported agriculture (CSA) program. The Seed2Table Enterprise includes products via the Seed2Table Market, CareShares, and Made4ACause.We also sell We Care Cancer Kits to provide support and comfort to cancer patients undergoing treatment. Through the Seed2Table Enterprise, moms and children receive weekly training to gain skills in project management, product development, agri-business, entrepreneurship, and sales — all of which help to foster self sufficiency and empower our clients with new skills, while also ensuring a steady revenue stream for NATASHA House to ensure its own sustainability.

NATASHA House provides our moms and children with a one-of-a-kind entrepreneurial experience through its Made4ACause product line. Through weekly classes, they learn how to design, create, market, and package hand-made items, including: table runners, scrunchies, potato bags, affirmation pillows, bath salts and bath bombs, peppermint scrubs, dryer balls, bangles and bead bracelets, and gift boxes.

We Care — Paying It Forward
At NATASHA House, our programs continue to educate women and children about agriculture and entrepreneurship. These experiences, combined with our systems-thinking and trauma-informed care approaches, help them create a pathway to success and self-sufficiency. The We Care Program enables our clients to leave with the skills and confidence to pursue their dreams, and a desire to give back to our community via three main components:
​
-
Adopt-A-Highway - Four times a year our moms clean up the Yorktown portion of Denbigh Blvd.
-
National Wildlife Habitat - Our children care for maintaining our Monarch Butterfly Garden.
-
We Care Packs - Moms and children write “Thinking of you because we care" notes, and pack goodies and toiletries in specially designed bags. They are then distributed service men & women, veterans, and senior citizens. They also create "We Kick Cancer Kits" which are thoughtfully designed to provide support and comfort to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatments.
​
Our We Care Program combines the principles of Thinking of You Week, which is an international movement to celebrate the joy of sending and receiving hand-written notes and greeting cards; and Pay It Forward Day which is a worldwide celebration of kindness whose mission is to inspire acts of kindness in hopes that the ripple effect of goodwill continues throughout the entire year.
Members of the community can participate in the HOME and CHAMPS programs without living in our home. Our Seed2Table Market serves the community with CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture)-- CareShares. We also provide training and internships by producing our line of DeLite cookies, seasonings, a tomato jam, and a salsa verde. ​Members of our community can buy our products from our online Seed2Table Market.
Finally, we have a FollowCare program for former residents that includes 3, 6, 9, and 12-month check-ins and monthly meetings with a social worker.
