Services

The Elizabeth House is a residential maternity and parenting program that supports pregnant, single women. We provide a safe and secure environment for mothers to become emotionally healthy and self-sufficient. Most residents stay at The Elizabeth House for six to 12 months. During this time, residents pay off debt, build a savings and work towards independence.

Residents build life skills that will help them to secure employment and housing, manage money and foster sound decision making. During each woman’s stay, she also learns effective parenting skills or makes an adoption plan.

The Elizabeth House is not an emergency shelter. We provide a program for women who wish to make changes in their lives. Each woman has her own bedroom to share with her baby once he or she is born.

Our goal is to equip moms to rebuild and restore their lives through Biblical principles, education and job placement. Women of all faiths or no faith are welcome.

The Elizabeth House moms participate in the pregnancy, childbirth and parenting education programs of First Care Clinic to help them be fully equipped to be the best moms they can be.
