Overview

Mission

Our maternity home community is designed to welcome and guide women who are pregnant, in crisis. We have created a pathway to parenting, housing, health, healing, and independence. Our maternity home community, along with our community partners, are dedicated to each family we serve. Our hope is to end homelessness, break the generational cycle of poverty and empower women to live a productive life.

What it reported doing in 2025

Safe housing for homeless pregnant women, programming/life skills, and access to health care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
