Can you imagine being pregnant with no safe place to live, feeling alone, and having little hope for the future?
Pregnant women are waiting for a safe place to find shelter and support. Let’s work together to provide hope and housing and share the love of Jesus.
For more than 20 years, The Elizabeth House has provided a safe home environment where pregnant women and their children can live free of charge while participating in a structured, goal-oriented program designed to help them become self-sufficient and healthy in body, mind, and spirit.
But there are so many more who need our help.
We serve 20-25 women and children in our current home each year. But the demand for our resources exceeds our ability to meet it: At any given time, we have an average of 8 to 10 women on our waiting list.
We know there is a shortage of housing, especially affordable housing, in our community and surrounding areas. A single mom with little financial know-how and earning potential is especially vulnerable. But we can help her get the education, training, and tools she needs to thrive. If we really believe that every woman should have the option to choose life – then we must have options for women. The option the world provides is an abortion clinic. Our solution is very different: a safe place to go for support, community, and healing. Our solution is Housing and Hope.
Our capital campaign for a second Elizabeth House is already underway—and we’re only $300,000 away from the total needed to complete phase 1 of the remodel.
We’ve embarked on a capital campaign to raise $1.9 million to pay for the property and renovations, furnish the house with equipment and supplies, and fund operations for the new home. We hope to be able to do this DEBT FREE.
We need you to make this happen. Can you make a gift to help us provide hope to these women and get them on the path to stability? Maybe you would like to help us spread the word. We are seeking ambassadors to host in-home gatherings to help us share the vision and recruit like-minded individuals to help us cross the fundraising finish line.

Location of New Home
We have secured a property in Mashall, WI. This property was previously an assisted living community. We will remodel the building to serve women and children. The property has additional land, and we hope to add an extension to better serve our families.
Please make a gift to help us provide safe housing for pregnant women!
