Transitional Housing

New Moms’ Transformation Center (TC) in Chicago provides up to 2 years of transitional housing for young mothers ages 18-24 and their children who are experiencing homelessness. The Transformation Center boasts 40 fully-furnished, private apartments that can house up to 40 moms and 50 children at a time—which makes New Moms the largest provider of housing for young moms in Chicago.

New Moms takes a “housing first” approach, which affirms that providing a safe, secure, and trustworthy environment to call home is the foundation of youth development and family well-being. Each family at the TC has their own fully-furnished private apartment, access to in-building laundry, playrooms, Wifi internet, and an individual Family Coach.

Families at the TC can choose to engage with any of New Moms’ resources. Together with their Family Coach, families may choose to participate in any of our program services, including prenatal education, birth coaches, peer support groups, and other parenting resources and tools. With the stability of safe and stable housing, the partnership of their coach, and a positive peer network of other moms in the building, young families can focus on their goals for individual and family health and well-being.
