EMPOWER IS A LONG-TERM HOUSING PROGRAM THAT OFFERS PARTICIPANTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY UP TO THEIR CHILD'S SECOND BIRTHDAY OR TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF THE DELIVERY, IF THEY CONSIDER ADOPTION FOR THEIR BABY. OUR PROGRAMS FOCUS ON PARENTAL EDUCATION, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALING, SPIRITUAL GROWTH, CAREER AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS, GAINING SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYMENT AND SAVING MONEY.

ASSISTING THESE WOMEN DURING THAT TIME, EVEN IF SHORTER THAN WE WOULD LIKE, HAS ALLOWED US THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE THEM TO NEW POSSIBILITIES IN THEIR FUTURE, HELP WITH THEIR RESUMES, TEACH THEM WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE PARENT, ENSURE THEY RECEIVE PROPER MATERNAL AND POST-NATAL CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND BABIES AND GUIDE THEM TO CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES.
