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.

Since 1979, ALPHA House has provided housing and services to pregnant women, new mothers, and infants. ALPHA House of Pinellas County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dependent on the support of the community.

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.
