Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out to cholley@pythianhome.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do you provide childcare?

The mother is responsible for enlisting child care for workdays or while in school. This encourages a mother in her future independence. We do assist in filling out the forms for CCMS if you have not already done so.

Is this an emergency shelter?

Grogan Family Program is not an emergency shelter. It is not designed to provide short-term, temporary relief from bad situations; it is focused on providing for the long-term emotional, physical and financial health of the mothers and children in care. The average length of stay is about 18 months, although some mothers may stay for longer periods of time.

Can you help me if I am not a Family Program resident?

Grogan Family Program offers referral information to community resources that can help meet current family concerns.

Do you take pregnant women?

Grogan Family Program is not a maternity program. If you are expecting another child, have your present child/children in legal custody, after delivery and dismissal from the hospital, we can work with you.

Why does a mother need to work or go to school?

The purpose of Grogan Family Program is to make long-term changes for the good of the family. All mothers in residence are required to be working, or attending school, or both.

What does the program cost?

Grogan Family Program mothers pay a small monthly fee, although no one is turned away based on inability to pay. They are required to save a percentage of their income from jobs or other resources to encourage financial stability and good money management.
