Who we are
Monday through Friday, people are released from the immigrant detention center in Aurora, CO.
Upon their release, they have one goal: to make it on to their next destination.
Casa de Paz is small but important part of this journey on to their loved ones.
Casa de Paz (House of Peace) offers peace in the midst of chaos.
We welcome guests who are released from the immigration detention center in Aurora, CO. We provide them a safe temporary space to go to so they can connect with their loved ones and make travel arrangements on to their final destination.
We believe in the inherent worth, dignity, and respect of all human beings. This is a beautiful community with thousands of people who are committed to building a bigger table!
Our Mission
Casa de Paz welcomes recently released newcomers, Asylum seekers, and immigrants; we facilitate their next steps towards reunifications with loved ones in a dignifying way.
Our vision
For people to not be detained and for folx to be treated like human beings regardless of legal status.
Our Values
We stand for inclusion, representation, respect, and human dignity.
Our Story
Casa de Paz began in 2012 as a small, one-bedroom apartment offering hospitality to families separated by immigrant detention.
Now, we are a short 10 minute walk away from the detention center.
Since 2012 we’ve hosted over 20,000 guests from over 82 countries.
