Evelyn’s House for Young Mothers and Babies is a
residential program that provides a safe, nurturing home and
supportive services for young women up to age 21 who have
become homeless during pregnancy or after having a baby.
Evelyn’s House provides housing and 24-hour staffing to
help each young mother care for herself and her child - and
to support her in becoming self sufficient and moving into
her own home.
Each young woman is assisted to enroll in school, enter job
training or become employed. All the families are connected
with services for health care, counseling, education,
employment, child care and special individual needs.
At any time, up to seven mothers and their children are
living in private rooms and enjoying the larger family-style
areas of Evelyn’s House. The home is located at Our Lady
of Lourdes Church in Utica, NY.
The moms and kids of Evelyn’s House benefit greatly from
the generous contributions of cash and gifts offered
by local groups and individuals. Our success relies greatly
on the continued involvement of interested and invested
community partners.
Each mother and child living at Evelyn’s House also
experiences compassion and kindness through the caring
acts of our beloved volunteers who help with child care,
group activities, transportation, holidays and fundraisers.
Our supporters can be confident that Evelyn’s House
will continue providing high quality services that improve
our community by nurturing and protecting young lives.
