Sojourner House

Our Mission: Offering compassionate, faith-based recovery services to mothers and their children. Now more than ever, families in recovery need our support. At Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS, we walk alongside mothers as they rebuild their lives-offering safe housing, treatment, and wraparound services that help them find stability and hope. We are proud to witness incredible transformations every day, and it's all made possible by generous supporters like you. As we approach Critical Needs Giving Day on August 5, your gift can make a powerful impact. Your support helps mothers and children move forward together.

Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS support mothers and families in recovery by providing housing, treatment, and supportive services that foster long-term stability and healing. Our programs are rooted in trauma-informed care and designed to keep families together as they navigate the path to recovery. We offer a continuum of services-from residential treatment to transitional and permanent supportive housing-ensuring that families have the tools they need at every stage of their journey. Women in our programs often achieve major milestones: securing employment, enrolling in education, and regaining custody of their children. With a 34-year legacy in Pittsburgh, Sojourner House has become a beacon of hope for families impacted by substance use disorder, mental health challenges, and housing insecurity. By addressing the root causes of substance use and supporting both mothers and their children, we help break generational cycles of trauma and create lasting change-one family at a time.

Testimonials

Vanessa spent time with her son at both Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS putting in the work to overcome her substance use disorder and find the path she wanted for herself and her son. The programs gave her an amazing foundation and the confidence to go after what she wanted for her life.

"I was at Sojourner House for 5-6 months and then MOMS for 5 years. Now, I own my own home," she said. "If you stay with it, you really can do it."

Vanessa credits her time at Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS for everything she has today. "I met some amazing women here," she said. "This place gave me a sense of peace that helped me prepare for whenever I got out of here."
