Pregnancy Services
Pregnancy Services provides help and support in solving medical, social, educational and psychological problems associated with unplanned pregnancies. Services may include counseling and information to help recipients make voluntary choices regarding adoption, parenting or terminating the pregnancy. Services may also include assistance in arranging for and utilizing other needed services including residential care.
The State Maternity Home Fund, a component of Pregnancy Services, can provide for maternity housing or alternative care services for any North Carolina resident, expectant mother who is experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. This fund provides payment of residential care with related services.
The fund may provide housing for up to six months of maternity or alternative care services. Funds may be provided regardless of age or marital status for an expectant mother who is unable to remain in her own home during the prenatal period.
A State Maternity Home Fund applicant must:
- Be a current resident of North Carolina
- Be an expectant mother who is experiencing an unplanned pregnancy
- Be an expectant mother who is unable to maintain adequate housing during the last 183 days of her prenatal period
- Have inadequate financial resources to meet the residential costs in an approved living arrangement as determined by a social worker
If you or someone you know requires this service please contact your local Department of Social Services or a licensed North Carolina adoption agency.
