Founded in 1988, McAuley Residence is Maine's only two generational program to offer two years of housing, programming, and recovery support with a focus on family reunification. 

Your support makes it all possible.

Your commitment will change lives

With locations in Portland and Bangor, McAuley is making a lasting difference in the lives of women recovering from substance use disorder and their children. 100% of McAuley residents advance their education (earning a GED or a college degree), retain a primary care provider for themselves and their children, and enroll their children in a childcare program. 76% of McAuley residents remain in active recovery from substance use disorder.

Please Help Provide Hope and Support to Women and Children In Need McAuley Residence relies completely on private philanthropy to meet the $500,000 annual operating budget necessary to provide vital staffing, coaching, and programming for both the Bangor and Portland programs. In early 2022, a $10 million initiative was launched to establish a permanent endowment to ensure sustained funding. We hope you will join us to provide hope and support to women and children who rely on McAuley Residence every day. Your commitment will not only change lives today but will also create brighter and healthy lives for tomorrow. All gifts are tax deductible and pledges can be made over ten years. Thank you
