HOLY GROUND SHELTER FOR HOMELESS

Our core residential program provides shelter and mentoring to young, homeless, pregnant or parenting mothers and their children living in Palm Beach County, who are willing to make positive changes in their lives. Throughout this long-term program, these moms learn the skills necessary to become healthy, productive, and self-reliant young women. Moreover, they model these behaviors for their children – an important step toward achieving generational change, which is a key goal of our mission. During their time with us, our young families live in their own, modestly furnished, safe apartments, so that they will be equipped to live independently once they graduate from our program. Our young mothers work and attend school and contribute toward their expenses. The amount for which each mom is responsible increases as her earnings increase, until she has shown that she is able to maintain herself. Once she graduates, she becomes part of our Independent Living/Aftercare program.
