Love crosses borders

We practice radical hospitality and faithful resistance—welcoming vulnerable immigrants into housing and community, and standing with them in solidarity.

Casa Alterna practices radical hospitality and faithful resistance. We welcome vulnerable immigrants into short- and long-term housing and cultivate a supportive community where healing and new beginnings take root. Since relocating to Atlanta in 2020, we have opened our doors to hundreds of people from more than 50 countries, offering care, safety, and renewal.

We stand in unwavering solidarity with those caught in our nation’s unjust deportation system. In moments of fear and uncertainty, we accompany immigrants with compassion and courage: we share information about their rights, connect those most at risk of detention with legal support, and walk alongside them as a humane alternative to ICE, rooted in peace, dignity, and love that crosses borders.

Our vision: We envision a world where love crosses borders, a world where every vulnerable immigrant finds safety, belonging, and the chance to thrive. We are building that community together.
