How We Serve
Bethlehem House gives hope to pregnant women by meeting immediate needs for safety, housing, and medical and mental health care. Our continuum of care begins with our Family Life Program. When ready to transition out of our residence, we stay with our graduates to provide additional resources through our AfterCare Program. Through community support, we help young women achieve sustainable independence with education, job readiness skills and financial literacy classes.
