For mothers
If you are pregnant and need somewhere to live, talk to us.
You can live here while you are pregnant and after your baby is born, for up to a year, at no cost to you.
We are small right now. Space is limited — but we read every message and we will tell you honestly what we can do. If we cannot house you, we will try to point you somewhere that can.
Call (773) 324-2055 Ask about a spot
What we offer
- A furnished apartment of your own, not a shared room or a shelter bed
- Your own key, and no curfew imposed on an adult woman
- A program director who is a registered nurse and caseworker, on site
- Help getting to prenatal care, and baby supplies through Pregnancy Aid Illinois, which operates out of our building
- Help with the practical things — finding work, finishing school, finding housing for when you leave
- You may stay up to one year
What we ask
We are honest about this because we would rather you know now than find out later.
- You work with your caseworker on a plan — for your health, your income and where you go next
- You keep the apartment and yourself safe, and follow the house agreement you will read before moving in
- This is a Christian ministry, and we are honest about that. You do not have to share our faith, attend anything, or believe anything to live here.
You may be exactly who we are here for.
You do not need a referral, an income, insurance, or a place to go afterward. You do not need to have your life in order — that is rather the point.
Pregnant, at any stage
Whatever your circumstances, and however far along you are.
Newly a mother
If you have recently given birth and need somewhere stable to live.
18 or older
Adult women. If you are under 18, call us anyway and we will help you find the right place.
How to reach us
Call (773) 324-2055. Someone will get back to you. If you would rather write, [email protected].
If you were sent by a hospital, clinic, shelter or caseworker, tell us who sent you — it helps us move faster.
Whatever you decide, you are welcome to call.
We would rather talk to you and not be able to help than have you not call at all.
