Mary's Shelter Of The Treasure Coast

What Mary's Shelter Of The Treasure Coast does

Mary's Home of the Treasure Coast is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit faith-based transitional maternity home operating from a 7,000-square-foot facility in Stuart, Martin County, Florida. Incorporated in 2008 and accepting residents since April 2010, the organization serves pregnant women aged 18 and older and new mothers with infants under four months who are experiencing homelessness or lack suitable housing and family support. It is the only transitional maternity home in Martin County and one of the few in south central Florida that accepts women over 30 years of age.

The core product is a residential program with seven private bedrooms (each with adjoining bathroom), shared kitchen, living and dining areas, a program room with computers, counseling room, prayer room, and screened lanai. Residents commit to education (GED or vocational certification in Medical Assistant, Dental Assistant, or Child Development), life skills training (financial literacy, goal planning, credit counseling via BrightCourse), parenting classes, counseling, spiritual guidance, and job readiness preparation. Post-graduation, the Women-In-Transition (WIT) Program provides one-year rental supplements, transportation and utility assistance, and ongoing mentorship. Healthcare is coordinated through partnerships with Cleveland Clinic Martin and Florida Community Health Centers. There is no proprietary technology platform; the operation runs on conventional social service delivery supported by 30+ collaborative agency partners.

The organization is funded entirely through private donations (including the Mary's Angels Giving Circle recurring commitment and planned/legacy giving), foundation grants from nine named private foundations plus United Way of Martin County, and annual fundraising events — principally the Fashion Show & Luncheon (15th annual in 2026, raising $189,000) and the Rock & Roll Bridge Walk (3rd annual in 2026). Services are delivered free of charge to residents. The team is small (3-5 staff) under Executive Director Alean Timm, supported by a Board of Directors including former banking, legal, wealth management, and IT leadership from the Martin County community. As of 2023, Mary's Home had served over 200 women and 100 babies and accumulated 5,953 nights of shelter occupancy since opening.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Charities USA: National faith-based social services network operating shelters, maternity housing, and family support programs. Already an indirect partner relationship via Mary's Home's faith-based collaborative network; operates at significantly greater scale across all 50 states.
• Bethany Christian Services: Large faith-based social services organization offering pregnancy support, foster care, adoption, and refugee services. Operates a much broader service portfolio than Mary's Home but shares the faith-based pregnancy support mission and is active in similar geographies.
• The Salvation Army: International faith-based charitable organization providing shelter, transitional housing, and family services across the U.S. Operates comparable residential shelter and social services programs; already a partner organization of Mary's Home via Compassion House.
• Volunteers of America: National nonprofit providing affordable housing, shelter services, and support for at-risk populations including pregnant women and families experiencing homelessness. Operates transitional and supportive housing programs directly comparable to Mary's Home's residential model, but at much larger scale across multiple states.

Direct peers

• Maggie's Place: Faith-based maternity home network providing residential shelter and comprehensive support services for pregnant women experiencing homelessness. Operates a directly analogous model to Mary's Home (transitional housing + life-skills + counseling) with multiple locations in Arizona.
• Family Promise: National nonprofit addressing family homelessness through shelter, prevention, and stabilization programs. Already a partner of Mary's Home; Family Promise operates a broader family-focused model compared to Mary's Home's targeted pregnant-women focus, but the service delivery and donor model are closely comparable.
• Care Net: National network of faith-based pregnancy centers providing counseling, parenting support, and material aid. Care Net is already a listed collaborative partner of Mary's Home, reflecting shared mission alignment and overlapping beneficiary population.
• Birthright International: Faith-based pregnancy support organization offering counseling, referrals, and material assistance to women facing unplanned pregnancies. Highly comparable to Mary's Home's mission-driven pregnancy support model, though Birthright focuses on non-residential services rather than transitional housing.

Others

• Habitat for Humanity: Affordable housing nonprofit building and rehabilitating homes for low-income families. Comparable to Mary's Home in mission overlap (housing stability for vulnerable populations) and donor base, but operates an asset-building/ownership model rather than transitional residential services. Already a Martin County partner.
• United Way Worldwide: National umbrella organization that funds and coordinates local health and human services nonprofits. United Way of Martin County is a direct major funder and partner of Mary's Home, making United Way both an indirect ecosystem enabler and a funder-of-funders comparable to Mary's donor-driven model.
