The program, Baby’s First Home (BFH), will be a supportive housing unit for 5 mothers (17-21) and their children. We have a 6-unit building in Queens that will provide shelter to 5 families and a live-in social worker. By offering counseling services, educational and vocational training, health education, and other supportive services, we plan to help mothers build independent lives and stable futures for themselves and their children upon completion of our program. We hope to reduce homelessness and poverty for a targeted group of women and children.

We are reaching out to anyone who has a story involving teen pregnancy/motherhood, and/or teen homelessness. In order to establish Baby’s First Home, we feel that we need to raise awareness about the social issues it addresses first. We will provide workshops on public speaking, media opportunities, all-expense paid trips out-of-state, along with many other member benefits. We need to expand our team to individuals who are just as passionate about this cause as we are. With this help we will be able to both raise the money it takes to open Baby’s First Home and inspire the greater community
