Nurture Home
Restoring Hope
Nurture Home is our response to women who are homeless with a mental illness. Nurture Home provides structured interventions to empower each of the women to become self-sufficient. Combined with individualized support to improve the mental health of women.
Mission
The mission of Nurture Home is to provide women that are homeless with a mental illness a safe place to thrive and restore stability within the Aiken community.
In 2015, Nurture Home experienced a budget cut of $45,000 due to changes in priorities of our Federal Funds through HUD. This shortfall could be a crisis for our agency, compromising the sustainability of Nurture Home, our shelter for homeless single women and children. We've changed the lives of over 100 families since 2009.
