If you’ve discovered you’re unexpectedly pregnant and are wondering where you will live or how you will manage, a maternity home may be the answer. Maternity homes provide supportive transitional housing and educational programs for single pregnant women who are in need.

An unexpected pregnancy causes women to feel alone and isolated, but at a maternity home, you become part of a family. Maternity homes provide the comfort, acceptance, and support you need to build a brighter future for you and your child.

Why Should I Consider a Maternity Home?

If you are looking for or in need of help during your pregnancy, a maternity home offers the services to help you move forward. It’s more than just a place to stay.

At a maternity home, you’re given resources to decide the best outcome for your pregnancy, whether that is making an adoption plan or choosing to parent. With guidance and encouragement, you gain independence and stability.

You live with other women experiencing the same circumstances, and structured services are provided free of charge.
