We’re so excited to share this news with all of you! We will be moving into a building that’ll greatly serve the ministry of Refuge Host Homes, and it will be called Refuge House.
​
Refuge House will be a Maternity Emergency Shelter located in Cuyahoga Falls that provides immediate temporary housing for vulnerable pregnant women. This place will serve as the first step in supportive housing and relationship building.
​
​​During their stay at Refuge House, we’ll aim to help mothers feel safe, cared for, and connected to others. Our Client Care team will support residents and assist them in forming the plan for their next step (whether going into a Refuge Host Home or another community program).
​
Our offices will also be located in this building, as well as a gathering space for mothers and their children, including program alumni.
​
To learn more about the shelter and how you can help us prepare for its opening, visit refugehosthomes.org/refugehouse
​
We will also be posting more about Refuge House here on social media this month!
