Maggie’s Place offers a caring support system and source of hope to homeless women and their children during the critical times of pregnancy and following birth. We provide access to a nurturing and stable home environment, nutritious food, baby supplies, medical care and programs that are trauma informed and focus on building resiliency and strengthening families.

Maggie’s Place serves pregnant women that are in need of a loving and supportive community. Our homes are located in Phoenix, Arizona and Cleveland, Ohio areas.

Women may move in at any point in their pregnancy and stay up to 9 months post-pregnancy.

To qualify for a Maggie’s Place home, a mother must be:

  • Pregnant
  • Age 18 or older
  • Free from drugs and alcohol
  • Free from diagnosed Severe Mental Illness
  • Free from immediate physical danger
  • Without other children in her immediate care

The Intake Process

To apply to live at Maggie’s Place, a mom must call our intake line 602-246-3724 and speak to our intake specialist.  The intake line is answered Monday-Wednesday and Fridays 9AM -1PM.  Spots are opened daily at 9am when available.  If you are calling and you receive a recording, please leave a message as calls are returned in the order in which they are received.

The intake process begins with a meeting at The Family Success Center where we walk the mom through a packet of interview questions. We ask that she bring an ID and proof of pregnancy to the intake meeting.  If the mom is a good fit for our program, we will schedule a second meeting before she moves in.

The intake process can range from one day to a few weeks.  If a mom is in need of immediate emergency housing in Arizona, please call Arizona Community Resources at 2-1-1. If outside of Arizona, here is a list of resources in other states.

What is it like to live in a Maggie's Place home?

Maggie’s Place homes are in neighborhoods. Living at Maggie’s Place is like being part of a family; you will be surrounded by people that love you, support you, and will always want the best for you and your family! While moms are pregnant, they frequently share a room with another pregnant mom and as she nears her delivery date, she may move into a single bedroom with a crib, changing table and other items she will need for her baby.
