Leah's House is a shelter for women and children in St. Mary's County. They provide emergency beds for 60-90 days and transitional services for 12-18 months. They also offer opportunities to live in on-site temporary, furnished apartments in exchange for successful participation in a structured program designed to break the cycle of homelessness. On-site childcare services are provided to help working mothers get back on their feet.
On-site programs are provided to teach resume writing, job search, and interview techniques. Leah's House will also work with participants to help them find employment.
Informational and awareness classes on domestic and substance abuse are provided. They can also assist with referrals to other agencies.
