Young Adult Program (Ages 18–21)
A structured, Christ-centered residential program for pregnant and parenting young mothers preparing for independence.
Please note: Compassion House is not an emergency shelter and does not provide immediate placement.
Our program involves an application, interview process, and readiness assessment to ensure the best fit for each resident.
Apply for Placement
Compassion House’s Young Adult Program is a structured residential program for young mothers ages 18–22 who are pregnant or parenting a child under age 5. We provide a safe, welcoming home where residents work toward independence, stability, and long-term success.
Because this is a structured residential program, we are unable to provide crisis housing or emergency shelter services.
