About Hannah’s Home
Hannah’s Home of South Florida is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit maternity home located in Tequesta, Florida that serves at-risk, pregnant women aged 18-30 who have been struggling with food insecurity, a lack of transportation, homelessness, unhealthy relationships, educational disruption, and isolation. We have a maximum capacity of 14 residents (mothers and children included in this number).
Our program provides the safety and stability needed to build a future for our resident mothers and their babies. Through case management, each mother is connected to medical and prenatal care, community resources, and other crucial support. As their crisis stabilizes, they are guided into a rich program designed to equip and empower both mother and child to flourish independently.
Our on-site Childcare Center allows our resident mothers to attend appointments, work, and pursue program goals while their little ones are cared for in a safe, nurturing environment.

Hannah’s Home is named after the Biblical character Hannah from 1 Samuel. She was barren and prayed desperately for a son. God heard her prayer and gave her baby Samuel. Our founder believes every child, no matter the circumstances, is a gift from God. “Then Hannah prayed and said: ‘My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is lifted high.’” 1 Samuel 2:1
