About Us
Shannon's Hope Maternity Home provides homeless women with an alternative to abortion. We are a non-denominational christian maternity home founded in 1982. We provide residential and programmatic support to women ages 16 through childbearing who are homeless or near homeless. Our program is designed to lead the women to self sufficiency by providing them with a safe environment to call home. We provided counseling, education, mentoring and daily support to the women who reside at Shannon's Hope. Our facility is a 5200 SqFt, 10 bed home located in Arvada, Colorado. Sixty percent of the women we serve are homeless, twenty five percent are from private homes and fifteen percent are out of state referrals.
Most of the women we serve range in age from 16 – 30
The average stay for a resident is 16 months, but they are able to stay for up to two years.
We need your support! Please consider supporting Shannon's Hope by donating your time through volunteer work or financially. Please visit us online at Shannonshope.org.
