Serving Homeless Pregnant Women in Crisis
Many of the women that we serve through the ministry join us because of a variety of personal issues. While some come simply as a result of circumstance and may be with us for only a short time, there are others who are in much more dire situations for which we have developed programs to meet their needs. Participants attend programs that progressively help them understand their circumstances, why they are where they are in life, take ownership of them and build lives that goes far beyond their circumstances. A key distinction in our program is the three-tiered approach that recognizes the unique physical, emotional and financial hardships involved in being pregnant and homeless.
Breaking the Cycle
Through partnership with other organizations, we are able to provide participants with resume writing, job skills development, education and other life skills with the goal of breaking the cycle of homelessness. We have learned that by helping the women to understand their situation, why they are there and what they can do about it, they have a greater likelihood of breaking the cycle of decisions and patterns that caused them to reach out to us in the first place.
Sheltering Grace Ministry has helped many women since opening its doors. We are the only program in Cobb County, Georgia with the primary focus of serving pregnant homeless women over the age of 21. Our program not only strives to relieve a crisis situation, but also to make a fundamental change in a woman’s life and future.
