Donate to a Housing Fund

Description

Her Situation: 

A roof over your head at night is one of life’s most basic needs. If you have kids, you probably remember your life revolving around sleep in those early months and years. Can you imagine not knowing where you will put your baby to sleep at night? 

Housing is one of the most common needs struggling pregnant moms have, whether they are currently experiencing homelessness, worried about being kicked out if they don't have an abortion, or afraid that they can't keep up with rent and utility payments once their baby is born. Research shows that housing instability increases the risk of poverty, health complications, and adverse birth outcomes for both the mother and the unborn child. It also poses a grave threat to life: one in 20 women who had an abortion specifically said her living or housing context "was not suitable for a baby."  

Overview

Her Community: 

A community-funded housing fund helps cover costs and barriers to safe, stable housing for abortion-vulnerable moms. Pregnancy centers and similar providers can refer women in need of emergency support to the housing fund which helps families facing temporary financial hardship to cover housing related expenses. The funds can be used to cover past-due rent payments and prevent eviction, keep the electricity on by paying critical utility bills, provide a security deposit for newly acquired housing, and other moving or furnishing costs.  

Guiding Grace Family Support Network provides case management and education for families facing unexpected pregnancies in Nebraska. Their Housing Stability & Retention Assistance Program is designed to promote housing retention and family stability by offering short-term financial support to participants who are actively engaged in other Guiding Grace programs. The program serves as a stabilizing bridge for those working towards progress in case management when they encounter unexpected barriers, helping families stay the course and continue building a stable, empowered life. In 2025, Guiding Grace funded $30,000 in rent assistance, utilities, and housing deposits for pregnant and parenting mothers.  

Housing funds are a critical way Her Communities across the country can step up to solve real needs faced by real moms. Prayerfully consider donating to a housing fund. Your gift will help provide safe, secure housing support for abortion-vulnerable moms and their families.
