Transform Lives. Build Futures. Heal.

We Help Women Find Trulliope.

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. 

At Mary and Elizabeth’s House, we don’t just provide a bed—we offer a beginning. We are more than a homeless shelter. We are a homeless prevention program rooted in compassion, dignity, and community. Your support allows us to provide critical homelessness assistance, especially for women and children in crisis.

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

We Help Women Find Trulliope—a place where healing meets hope.

Women and girls represent 39.2% of people experiencing homelessness

What Happens Inside Our Walls

Safe Harbor

The first gift we offer is safety. A locked door they control. A bedroom where children can sleep without fear. A kitchen where they can cook dinner as a family.

Community Connection

Every Sunday, volunteers and families work side by side. Gardening together. Sharing meals. Building relationships that extend far beyond program completion.

Counseling & Healing

Professional support for trauma, domestic violence recovery, and mental health—because healing the heart is as important as housing the body.

Skill Building That Matters

Financial literacy that prevents future crises

Parenting workshops that strengthen family bonds

Job readiness training that opens doors

Life skills that build lasting independence

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.

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.
