What is our Maternity Housing Program?
For over 15 years, Home Start has provided affordable, supportive housing and individualized future planning to women who are pregnant or have small children in unstable living environments. Our Maternity Housing Program offers a safe home and educational programs to help mothers become self-sufficient and develop healthy relationships with their children.
This 360º support system includes evidence-based parental education, Child Development Specialists, counseling, financial literacy training, higher education, and employment resources.
Home Start currently offers over twenty apartments, supporting more than 265 families.
Our Case Managers and facility staff create individualized plans for clients to achieve independence, while our social enterprises provide on-the-job training opportunities. This program supports mothers and fosters a generation of young San Diegans who will grow up in secure, loving homes.
How You Can Help
It's easy to help by donating much-needed supplies from our Amazon Wish Lists.
Our families are always in need of diapers, bedding, bath supplies and other goods that make these apartments a home.
