Our housing program is the heart of what we do.
Each woman gets her own room in the home with a community of support around her for up to 2 years.
Are you pregnant and in crisis?
Let’s begin with where you are!
You may know exactly what you need or you may simply know you cannot keep carrying it alone.
What Life in the Home Looks Like
Her own bedroom in a fully furnished home, with shared spaces where everyday life happens
Trauma informed live-in staff who share in the rhythms of the home and are present with encouragement, practical support and accountability
Financial literacy and savings toward future goals and independent living
Semiannual retreats that make room for connection, community and positive memories in the midst of transition.
Help navigating prenatal care and connecting with doulas, WIC, home-visiting programs and other community resources
Weekly community rhythms - meals together, check-ins, celebrating milestones
A pathway to stable independent housing and employment when she's ready
A community that stays in her life long after she moves out
Building toward what comes next.
What is asked of each person living in the home.
At ESTHER Homes, we believe every woman should have a voice in her journey. We provide a safe home, practical resources and consistent support, but we believe lasting stability is built with you, not for you. Your time at ESTHER Homes is an opportunity to look ahead and begin putting the pieces of stability in place. Every woman comes with her own story, strengths and hopes, so each journey will look different.
We ask you to take an active role in that journey by participating in work, school or training; financial literacy and savings; meeting regularly with staff; engaging in the program; and taking meaningful steps toward the goals you have chosen for yourself and your family.
Living here also means being part of a community. We ask every woman to communicate respectfully, care for our shared spaces and contribute to a home where people feel safe, valued and supported. Our role is to walk beside you, offer support and remind you of what you are capable of. Your role is to keep showing up and taking the next courageous step!
