Marcus Property Group

A calm house for survivors and single moms starting over

We lease co-living houses, whole, to nonprofit operators who house domestic violence survivors and single mothers. You provide the program and the support. We provide a turnkey house near public transit, and we treat privacy as part of the conversation from the first call.

Why does the house itself matter?

For a woman leaving a hard situation, a home does quiet work. A door that locks. A kitchen where a family can cook together. A bedroom where a child can sleep. A street that is calm enough to feel like a fresh start.

The program brings the counseling, the advocacy and the plans. The house gives those things somewhere to happen.

How do we think about safety and privacy?

No house can promise safety, and we will not pretend one can. Safety planning belongs to the people trained for it, and your organization knows its residents best. What we can do is talk early about the physical side of the house: entrances, lighting, locks and the layout. We also talk about how the address is handled.

Any arrangement is set out in the lease.

Can the house suit mothers with children?

Our houses have four or more bedrooms and two or more baths, so there is room for families to have their own space and still share the common areas. How rooms are used is your decision. We simply make sure the layout gives you real options.

Questions from survivor programs

More on the full FAQ.

Can the address be kept private?

Privacy is a topic we raise early. How it is handled is set out in the lease and in the operator's own practices.

Can a program for single mothers use a shared house?

Yes, if the model fits. The operator decides how rooms are used. With four or more bedrooms, a house can suit mothers with children, and we talk through layout before a lease.
