Our Services
The O’Connor House Mission is to provide a Christian home to help homeless, single, pregnant women improve life for themselves and their children.
We Provide:
SHELTER
Each resident can stay up to 18-months with her new baby and up to two additional children under the age of 5. Each mother receives her own room for her and her child(ren).
FOOD
The O’Connor House has a large community kitchen to make it easy for all residents to cook their own meals. There is also “community” food, vegetable gardens, and a weekly “Community Night” meal that is provided by the House and cooked by a different resident each week.
CLOTHING
Residents are provided any clothing they are in need of, such as work clothes, baby clothes, or seasonal clothes.
TRANSPORTATION
Staff and volunteers drive residents to their destinations within Hamilton County. This includes transporting to work, school, daycare, grocery stores, doctor visits, etc.
HEALTH: MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT
Residents are offered weekly professional counseling, including both group and individual sessions, weekly bible study sessions, and a variety of educational lessons and classes, including prenatal care, parenting, cooking and nutrition, and a variety of lessons and classes.
EDUCATION
We encourage every resident to complete her high school degree. We provide career counseling and planning.
LIFE SKILLS
Through our Life Skills Program, each resident will get to work with our staff on goals and personal development. Each week a different class is offered on a particular topic, such as time management, parenting, budgeting, cooking, or independent living.
A LOVING ENVIRONMENT
The O’Connor House provides a home that promotes respect and dignity, and helps women gain the knowledge and skills to improve life for themselves, their children, and future generations. Our compassionate staff and volunteers offer hope and encouragement to each woman.
