General Information:
Phase 1 Group Maternity Home Up to 12 months Mother pregnant, possibly working. All of the mothers will enjoy a Catholic Christian spiritual atmosphere, where they can learn to make good moral judgments and choices in their lives. The Mother will be taught to cook, keep house and budget her money through practical real life experiences. The new mothers will begin to learn to pay their own way by putting 30% of their earnings each month into an account (similar to an escrow account) which will be returned to them at the end of their stay in The Maternity of Mary Homes for Mothers in Crisis, in the same manner as a security deposit on a rental. When returned, these funds can be used to pay security deposit on an apartment, utility deposits, etc. Through various classes the pregnant mother will have an opportunity to learn a variety of things for daily living. The pregnant mother will be connected with medical assistance for the best pre-natal care available. The mothers will have an opportunity to go to school and complete their education or avail themselves of our "Trades for Transition" program. Thus they will be able to parent their children in the early stages of life. The "Mary's Helpers" mentors will begin to work with the mothers to form a relationship that will continue throughout their lives, if they wish.

Continued or new connections with Mary's Helpers. Phase 3 Individual Transitional Housing 1 - 2 years Mother Child Bonding period. Mother working, caring for her child. As the mothers become more independent and better able to provide for themselves and their child (children) they can move into individual transitional housing in which they can continue the work they have been doing up to this point. If they have not already done so, they can avail themselves of the "Trades for Transition" program, and stay home to work while they raise their baby and earn the income necessary to provide for their needs as well as their child (children).
