Henderson's only shelter for expecting mothers opens with 38 beds

HENDERSON, Nev. — Expecting mothers in Henderson now have a new place to turn for shelter and support after Living Grace Homes opened its Safe & Sound Campus near Boulder Highway and Major Avenue.

The shelter, described as Henderson's only known shelter for expecting mothers, offers 38 beds. The expanded capacity is expected to allow the longtime nonprofit to serve about 90 families each year.

Living Grace Homes was founded in 2007 and has helped more than 1,000 mothers and their children over the past two decades.

"Every mother deserves a safe place to call home and the opportunity to build a healthy future for herself and her baby," said Gwen Harvey, executive director of Living Grace Homes. "The Safe & Sound Campus represents more than an expansion of housing. It represents hope, opportunity, and a community coming together to help families build a foundation for a brighter future."

The grand opening event also recognized community members for their support in making the campus possible.

The new shelter comes as housing costs and economic pressures continue to strain families across the Las Vegas Valley. For pregnant women facing homelessness, the lack of dedicated shelter space has been a persistent gap in the region's safety net. Living Grace Homes has long been one of the few organizations in Henderson focused specifically on this population.

With 38 beds, the Safe & Sound Campus significantly expands the organization's capacity. The nonprofit expects to serve roughly 90 families annually, providing not just shelter but also support services aimed at helping mothers stabilize and plan for their futures.

Community members interested in supporting Living Grace Homes can find more information on the organization's website.
