Pregnant and Homeless: Find Help in Kansas

I’m Pregnant and Homeless in Kansas: What Can I Do Right Now?

If you are pregnant and homeless, the most important thing to know is that we can help you find safety immediately. This is a crisis, but it does not have to be your permanent reality. Adoption is a chance to provide a better future for both you and your child, allowing you to move from an unstable situation into a safe, supported environment.

Your first priority is a safe place to sleep. You can also call 2-1-1 to connect with the United Way of Kansas. They operate 24/7 to find available shelter beds and food programs near you. If you are in an unsafe relationship, call the Kansas Crisis Hotline at 1-888-363-2287 or text SAFE to 847411.

By choosing adoption, you aren't just planning for your baby; you are getting the housing support you need to regain your own stability and peace of mind.
