Magnificat Houses

About Magnificat Houses

Founded in 1968 by social worker Rose Mary Badami, Magnificat Houses emerged as a compassionate response to the closure of state-supported mental institutions, which left many vulnerable individuals homeless on the streets of Houston. With a vision rooted in dignity and community, Rose Mary raised funds to purchase a house in a struggling Midtown neighborhood, transforming it into a safe haven for women in need. This pilot home flourished, leading to the establishment of additional residences for men, women, and families, as well as a downtown soup kitchen in 1972 to serve the destitute and chronic street populations.
