 Our
Mission
Clara’s House
is an organization that supplies homeless pregnant girls/women
with safe caring homes to reside in during their pregnancies and
up to 6 months after they give birth. Women live in family home
settings and will learn skills toward independent living, such
as budgeting, cooking, securing a job, baby care, and much
more. We also address other issues, such as emotional, social,
spiritual and educational needs.
There are many reasons why women
find themselves in unplanned pregnancies, and often times they
are not prepared for motherhood, whether for reasons of family
difficulties, emotional instability, lack of finances or age.
They are faced with a crisis decision whether to continue with
their pregnancy. Some do not have a supportive
family environment, and a pregnancy could even find themselves
homeless. Many will seek help and advice from a nearby
crisis pregnancy center. The center can offer very helpful
and caring advice, but they do not have the resources to offer
housing to the girls/women. Clara’s House would meet this
vital need.
Each pregnant
woman completes an individual plan with the houseparent family
according to her specific needs. We promise…
-
available care 24 hours a day.
-
provide a safe, clean home free
from alcohol, drugs, smoke and violence.
-
nutritional meals
-
transportation for medical needs
-
assistance in receiving life
skill and parenting classes.
-
moral and spiritual support.
