Lifehouse

What Lifehouse does

LifeHouse of Houston, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit Christ-centered maternity home ministry founded in 1988 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. It serves pregnant women aged 12 and older experiencing unplanned pregnancies, as well as new mothers in postpartum aftercare, by providing free residential housing in apartment-style and family-style homes on its Spring Branch campus. The organization is one of only two maternity homes in the surrounding 14-county area and one of the few that accepts minors, giving it a distinct regional position.

Its core offering is an integrated residential program combining housing with weekly counseling and case management, structured educational classes (spiritual growth, prenatal/postnatal, parenting, financial literacy, job readiness, nutrition), workforce development aimed at job placement within 4-6 weeks, medical appointment coordination and insurance assistance, adoption referrals, and infant care supplies. Aftercare support extends up to 14 months postpartum. The non-residential LifeLine program extends the same coaching, resource connection, and counseling to pregnant women who do not require housing.

LifeHouse is funded entirely through donations and private fundraising. Revenue streams include individual donations processed via DonorPerfect, in-kind contributions through Amazon Wishlists, tiered event sponsorships for the annual Celebration Dinner (Vision Caster $30,000 down to individual seats at $350), the Links for Life golf tournament and Champions of Life pickleball tournament, and a Champions of Life young professionals subscription-style recurring giving program at $25/month. Residents are referred through crisis pregnancy centers, partner churches, school guidance counselors, family, and online search. In 2024, the ministry purchased an apartment complex that increased capacity by 150%, enabled independent apartment-style living, and introduced the new capability to serve residents with existing children.

Broad incumbents

• Heartbeat International: An affiliation and standards body for crisis pregnancy centers and maternity housing programs globally. Comparable to LifeHouse in serving the same client base and offering infrastructure, training, and best-practice guidance to similar ministries.
• Care Net: A national affiliation network for more than 1,100 pregnancy resource centers serving women in unplanned pregnancies. Provides an umbrella under which many maternity homes like LifeHouse operate, sharing the same pro-life, Christ-centered service philosophy.
• Bethany Christian Services: A large Christian social services organization offering pregnancy support, foster care, and adoption services nationwide. Operates a much broader portfolio than LifeHouse but serves a similar faith-aligned maternal-support mission and intake population.

Direct peers

• Good Counsel Homes: A national network of Catholic maternity homes providing residential housing, counseling, and life-skills support for pregnant women in need. Closely aligned with LifeHouse's faith-based maternity home model, resident services, and bridge-to-parenting mission.
• Mary's Shelter: A faith-based residential maternity program providing housing, counseling, and life-skills training for pregnant women. Mirrors LifeHouse's residential-plus-discipleship core service model and similarly operates a small, high-touch facility serving a similar resident population.
• Birthright International: A volunteer-driven pregnancy support organization offering non-judgmental, friendship-based assistance to women facing unplanned pregnancies. Conceptually aligns with LifeHouse's LifeLine non-residential coaching program and shares the community-referral service model.

Emerging players

• Hannah's Hope Maternity Home: A faith-based maternity home supporting women during pregnancy and early motherhood with residential care, counseling, and life-skills training. Overlaps closely with LifeHouse's residential program model at a smaller, single-site scale.
