A Sanctuary of Safety
and Hope

We envision a community of refuge and renewal, providing young women in crisis with housing, food, faith-based support, and life skills training.

In the metropolitan Phoenix area, dozens of pregnant women—some with one or two small children—are sleeping in cars, motels, derelict buildings, or crowded shelters. Many have been homeless for days or even weeks. Others face eviction or the prospect of being pushed onto the streets. Those carrying an unborn child face heightened risks of targeting, violence, food insecurity, and familial abandonment.

Referral agencies

Holy Name Center will partner with Arizona-based referral agencies to provide housing, meals, and counseling services to pregnant women experiencing homelessness. Priority will be given to expectant mothers who already have one or more young children in their care.

Referral agencies will conduct preliminary evaluations and refer women whose needs can be appropriately served within the Center’s residential setting. Women requiring specialized treatment or higher levels of care may be referred to other community resources. Services will be offered as space and resources permit.

a place to begin again

Your support will make this possible in a safe, supportive community managed by professionals with experience in caring for pregnant women and their children.

Holy Name Center will provide vetted women with transitional housing, counseling, education, and faith-based support as they work toward healing, independence, and renewed dignity. More than a residence, Holy Name Center will be a compassionate community where mothers and children can rebuild their lives with stability, purpose, and hope for the future.
