Transform Lives. Build Futures. Heal

We Help Women Find ope.

Mary and Elizabeth’s House is a movement for the people who are without a roof. We build the most prosperous communities by making sure every woman and every child has a place to call HOME.

When we house a mother, we secure a child's future.

Safe neighborhoods start with stable housing.

Women and girls represent 39.2% of people experiencing homelessness

Children in stable housing are 2x more likely to graduate high school

Comprehensive Support Beyond Housing

We stand with the women we serve for as long as it takes, providing stability and care during a time of great need while combating feelings of abandonment and hopelessness.

Short-Term Housing

We provide women and their children with safe, transitional housing to prevent homelessness. Our referrals come from outreach teams, homeless programs, and we serve victims of domestic violence with the secure environment they need to rebuild.

Life Preparation

Participants develop essential life skills including parenting, financial literacy, cooking, and job readiness. We arrange counseling services, assist with job placement, and teach the skills needed to thrive independently.

Long-Term Care

Our commitment doesn't end when women leave our housing. We provide ongoing support, mentorship, and resources to ensure lasting success and stability in their new independent lives.

Volunteer Service

Every Sunday, our volunteer teams mobilize to make a real difference. From mentoring to practical support, our community comes together to create lasting change in the lives of the families we serve.

Meet the Hearts Behind the Mission

Latonya Meriwether

President

"Mary and Elizabeth's House was birthed out of Isaiah 58:7-8. As a single mother at 19, I lived the fear these families face. This isn't charity—it's community. It's family helping family find their way home."

The Legacy Living in These Walls

The building that houses Mary and Elizabeth’s House was once home to Tommie and Elizabeth Johnson. Tom was known as the generous patriarch of the Johnson and Swain families—a man who opened his doors to anyone in need.

When Tom passed, the family made a decision that would honor his legacy forever: transform his home into a beacon of hope for the community he loved.

Today, that same spirit of radical hospitality lives on. Every family who walks through our doors steps into a legacy of love that spans generations.
