About this Event
A week-long tour-a-thon celebration!
To allow as many people as possible to see our life-changing space, while also being mindful of neighbors and limited parking, we will be hosting a week-long tour-a-thon for our Opening Celebration! Individuals will receive a dedicated 2-hour opportunity to get a tour of the space from one of our team members. This will be a chance to learn about our inclusive and intentional design as well as our program. We look forward to sharing noms, exclusive merchandise, and good company with you!

What is Eva's Casita?
Lovingly named after our founding board president, our peer respite is a non-carceral space to take a rest. A peer-led respite center is a voluntary, home-like, non-medical space where people can take a self-driven break with the support of others with similar lived experiences. We have scheduled and ongoing activities available, welcoming an exploration of diverse wellness tools. Our space is colorful, accessible, and being created with love for our community.
Filling the gap between inpatient and outpatient services, our respite will be an opportunity to get away before reaching a point of crisis or a stopping point after a crisis before going back home, focusing on preventative care and sustainable wellness. Individuals can stay, for free, overnight for up to 7 nights per month. This alternative to hospitalization is a life-saving resource.
Our LGBTQ+-led peer respite (welcoming all communities 18+, centering those not usually centered) is the first in Central Florida and the first intentionally focused on underserved communities in the nation.
