Our goal is to provide stability while supporting mothers in their transition to long-term housing, self-sufficiency and continued higher education.
Ally’s Place is a maternity housing program for women 18 years and older who are pregnant and are a student enrolled in a college/university or a trade school program. Women who enter this program will work closely with their caseworker and counselor to develop a comprehensive plan to address their current needs, be connected with resources, and work toward self-sustainable independence for themselves and their family. Residents are welcome to stay until their child turns three or they finish their higher education program—whichever happens first. All services of APO and Ally’s Place are completely free.
