Our Lady's Inn is located in St. Louis & St. Charles, Missouri, and provides emergency maternity shelter for homeless, pregnant women ages 18 and older, and their minor children.
If you are pregnant and homeless (or at risk), please take these steps:
1) Call the "HRC" Housing & Homeless Resource Center at St. Patrick Center (314) 802-5444...this is REQUIRED if you are from St. Louis City or St. Louis County. The HRC is the official referring agency for almost every shelter in St. Louis City and St. Louis County. They know where all the shelter spaces are, so you do not have to call each shelter yourself. Your referral through the HRC connects you to many very helpful services that you will need.
