Hannah's House

What Hannah's House does

Hannah's House of Michiana is a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit founded in 1994 in Mishawaka, Indiana, that operates a residential maternity program for pregnant women facing housing instability, abuse, or other challenging circumstances. Its service model is structured as a three-phase continuum spanning roughly 2–3 years from pregnancy through the child's third birthday: The Leep Maternity Home provides 24/7 supervised housing for up to 7 women and 3 babies in a 5-bedroom residence; The Killilea Transitional Home offers a second-phase residence for up to 3 women and children with greater independence and staff guidance; and the S.E.L.F. (Self Elevated Lifelong Freedom) program supports the final transition to independent living with budgeting assistance and an Alumni Store. A fourth pillar, Homes of Hope, was added in 2025 through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity of St. Joseph County to provide single-family transitional rental housing with a pathway to homeownership.

The organization is not technology-focused and operates with a small, mission-driven staff of approximately 18 people under Executive Director Susan Frucci, supported by an 11-member Board of Directors (President Mike Marien, VP Tim Killilea). Its underlying service is the curated, faith-based life-skills curriculum and supervised housing capacity rather than a technology platform, with the cost of care benchmarked at approximately $150 per resident per day.

Hannah's House is funded entirely through charitable contributions: individual donations (one-time $150 and $50/month recurring tiers via DonorPerfect), church and community group giving, corporate sponsorships (Gurley Leep Automotive Group, Beacon Health System), foundation grants (notably a $150,000 Leep Family Foundation award), and annual fundraising events including the Papa Irish Memorial Golf Outing and the Holiday Happenings Gala, which raised over $300,000 in 2024. Services are provided at no cost to participants and accessed via a phone-based intake process, with the organization operating exclusively within the Michiana region (Northern Indiana/Southwest Michigan).
