Residential Maternity Homes Program
The core offering is a network of five residential homes in New York and New Jersey that provide shelter, food, and holistic care for homeless, expectant, and new mothers. The program is designed to create a loving, family-like environment where residents can focus on their pregnancy and future while receiving comprehensive support.
The program addresses the critical issues of homelessness and lack of support for women facing crisis pregnancies, offering a safe and nurturing alternative where they can gain the stability and skills necessary for an independent future.
The primary problems addressed are a lack of safe housing, absence of a support network during a vulnerable time, and the need for resources to plan for a stable, independent future for both mother and child.
