The ALPHA House Residential Program offers a safe and educational environment for new moms and their babies. Our goal is to provide life lessons that can transform a family of two from a displaced situation to a world of self-sufficiency.
Our program promotes each woman’s commitment to herself and her child. Each resident mother receives skills training, including:
 | Therapeutic Counseling: This counseling focuses on proper self-care during pregnancy, making the transition into motherhood, healthy parenting, preventing child abuse, fostering self-esteem, and making positive life choices. Issues related to parenting and adoption are also addressed. |
 | Case Management: Case managers link residents to educational programs, medical care, WIC, government assistance programs, and other services to assist with the transition to self-sufficiency. Case managers also monitor residents to be sure they are meeting the expectations of the ALPHA House program. |
 | Life Skills Education: Weekly group and individual programs address preparation for childbirth, parenting and life skills, child development and bonding, budgeting, stress management, housing, nutrition, and substance abuse prevention. |
 | Vocational Education: Residents further their education by attending high school, college, or pursuing a GED. Those who have completed their education find internships or jobs. |
The mission of ALPHA House of Pinellas County is to prevent the cycle of homelessness and child abuse by providing a safe residence and supportive services to homeless pregnant women and babies.
ALPHA empowers women with the job skills, education, parenting skills, positive self-esteem and spiritual foundation necessary to obtain permanent housing, successfully raise their children, and contribute to the community as self-sustaining mothers.
ALPHA House of Pinellas also invests in the community with an outreach program that provides hundreds of families with necessary child care items each year.
