What is it like in the Hannah’s House homes?
Our maternity home (Leep) is a residential home with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is 24-hour / 365 days a year staff supervision. Up to 7 women and 3 babies can reside in the home. There are daily responsibilities each resident takes part in, Leep Home functions very much as a family.

Our transitional home (Killilea) is also a residential home that houses up to 3 women and children at a time. Killilea has no in-house supervision, but residents have access to and remain to be guided by agency staff. Residents from Leep move to Killilea after working through programming and securing full-time college or full-time work and childcare. Killilea is a supported step toward independence.

How long can a woman live within Hannah’s House?
The length of stay depends on each individual woman as she continues toward completion of program expectations. Though we require consistent participation, we evaluate each Mom along her journey and make accommodations and/or guidleines based on progress and need. Women who successfully complete our maternity program, have a job and child care, may continue our programming in our transitional residence.

Can a Mom bring other children?
Unfortunately, no. Hannah’s House is designed to care for the Mom and her current pregnancy / baby. Hannah’s House is not a shelter or considered housing. The size of the home and the needs of all those involved in the programming does not positively support more children in the home. We do allow children to visit and spend time in the home.
