Are you pregnant and need a safe place to live?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
If you're pregnant and don't have a safe or stable place to live, Redeeming Life may be able to help. Our Christ-centered, live-in maternity home program provides housing and supportive services at no cost to eligible single pregnant women. Our Florida maternity home is located in Sanford, northeast of Orlando. Our Illinois maternity home is located in East Dundee, in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Both homes serve single pregnant women in crisis from the Orlando and Chicago metro areas and throughout the United States. Women from anywhere in the U.S. may apply.
Before you apply to our program, please spend some time reading our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) or the Program Guidelines to help you determine if Redeeming Life Outreach Ministries is a good fit for you.
