Mary's Home
The mission of Mary's Home is to provide a faith-based transitional pathway leading expectant women to a life of self-sufficiency and dignity for themselves and their babies.
We are working to break the cycle of poverty for mothers and their babies and the generations that follow.
Who We Are
Mary's Home is a faith-based transitional home that provides residential and non-residential services for women who are pregnant and experiencing homelessness. Many of the women who seek assistance from Mary's Home need a supportive environment. They may not have a suitable place to live, or their family may be unable or unwilling to help them.
What We Do
In addition to providing shelter, Mary's Home offers a safe, nurturing and supportive environment for pregnant mothers, prepares them for independent living, and works with them to build a vision of hope for their future through financial, professional, and spiritual development, education, and training.
Since opening in 2010, Mary's Home of the Treasure Coast has helped hundreds of women and babies. Throughout their time at Mary's Home, both during their pregnancies and after, all residents work on their education, life skills training, finance and budgeting, parenting skills, employment preparation courses, spiritual guidance and counseling.
Women attend all pre- and post-natal health visits and well-baby visits. By the time they are ready to leave Mary's Home, the education and life skills they learned help them successfully transition to an independent life with their child.
Who We Help
Mary's Home is the only transitional maternity home in Martin County and one of the only in south central Florida that accepts women over 30 years of age.
Program Eligibility
- A woman must be 18 years or older and experiencing homelessness or lack suitable support and a safe place to live
- Pregnant with no other children in their care
- Have an infant under four months old and no other children in their care
Program Requirements
Specific program requirements and expectations are discussed with each resident upon their arrival. At minimum, each resident of Mary's Home must commit to:
- Following house rules such as contributing to the home by doing chores and household duties
- Attending school - working towards their (GED) General Education Diploma or Certification Program
- Participating in counseling sessions
Our Community Impact
Residents of Mary's Home of the Treasure Coast have achieved tangible successes since the Home opened in 2010.
Women have worked hard to receive their GEDs and vocational certifications in programs such as Medical Assistant, Dental Assistant and Child Development Assistant. Others have chosen to pursue internships or programs at Indian River State College and/or Career Source programs. They develop marketable skills and a sense of self-confidence. When they leave, they are able to move forward in life and build a positive future for themselves and their family.
