Alpha-Omega Miracle Home

What Alpha-Omega Miracle Home does

Alpha-Omega Miracle Home (AOMH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1997 by Lisa Franklin and headquartered in St. Augustine, Florida. AOMH operates a faith-based, intergenerational housing and supportive services program serving homeless and at-risk women and children in Northeast Florida, specifically St. Johns County. The organization's core offering is the G.R.O.W. Housing Program, which pairs single and expectant mothers with senior women (60+) in furnished two-bedroom apartments at its 2860 Collins Ave. campus, currently spanning 20 properties and serving up to 80 women and children. Complementary programs include the Young Moms Housing Program, Seniors Housing Program, Community Diaper Bank, Thrift Store Voucher Program, and Adoption Assistance — all funded through a mix of individual donations, corporate gifts, church partnerships, government grants, and thrift store proceeds.

AOMH has no proprietary technology platform; its core 'product' is in-person, case-managed social services delivered by licensed mental health counselors (LMHC) and supported through partnerships with First Coast Technical College, St. Johns River State College, United Way of St. Johns County, and local faith-based and service organizations. The organization earns no revenue from service fees — instead, it operates on a donation-based model with unit-rate donor framing ($36 per safe night, $248 per week, $1,083 per month) and runs an 11,800 sq ft thrift store (plus a second location opened in 2016) whose retail proceeds are recycled into the housing program. The organization's GTM motion is community-led and event-driven, relying on annual fundraising events (Blue Jean Bash, Concerts for a Cause, First Coast Sleep Out Challenge), church partnerships, word-of-mouth referrals, and a multi-channel digital presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, email newsletter, website).

The organization is currently executing a strategic capacity expansion: a $14 million 'Building A Better Tomorrow' campus project, partially funded by a $3.5 million State of Florida Freedom First budget allocation signed by Governor DeSantis in June 2022. The new campus will add 20 two-bedroom apartments, 12 efficiency apartments, and 6 dormitory rooms, nearly doubling affordable housing capacity. Leadership is founder-led (CEO Lisa Franklin since 1997) with a Chief Development Officer (Nancy Kelley) driving capital campaign execution, and a Board of Directors and Advisory Board drawn from law enforcement, banking, legal, construction, and faith sectors.

Comparable on housing-as-path-out-of-poverty model and nonprofit affordable housing delivery, though focused on ownership rather than transitional shelter.
