HomePlace, a ministry of the Louisiana Baptist Children’s
Home and Family Ministries, provides love, care, and
hope for homeless children and their mothers.
Many homeless children and their mothers are living with
relatives or friends in temporary housing. They often
have to move from place to place. HomePlace provides a
safe, stable, transitional home for 6-12 months at no
cost to residents. During this time of transition, staff
and volunteers help these moms with critical life skills,
job training, and Christian counseling.
HomePlace moms receive a vast array of training through
Christian Women’s Job Corps of Monroe. CWJC equips
women through job-readiness and computer classes, Bible
study, and mentoring.
The goal of HomePlace is to help families obtain the
skills needed to move from dependency and despair to a
future of self-sufficency and hope.
HomePlace
Ministry is available to women at least 18 years of
age with children 12 years of age and under.
