Pregnant? Need a place to live?

Brook Haven House is a lovely Victorian home located in the village of Carthage, NY.  It is staffed by warm and caring house-parents who are waiting to receive young ladies who are pregnant and in need of a safe place to live.

Brook Haven House is a Christian Maternity Home which has four private bedrooms with shared bathroom and laundry facilities.  Meals are prepared and shared family style.  Located near the center of the village, it is within easy walking distance of banks, a drug store, beauty salons, churches, the library, the post office and other shops.  Hospital services are minutes away.

Services offered at Brook Haven House include:  transportation to doctor’s appointments, GED/tutoring, on site visits by public health nurses, instruction in natural childbirth, financial planning, and help with homemaking, parenting, family planning and other life-skills.  There is also help in making the transition to independent living when the young lady is ready.  A young mother may stay at the home until her baby’s first birthday.

Brook Haven House has a broad base of support in the community, both from many different religious denominations and also from local businesses.
