Henderson welcomed a new haven for expecting mothers on November 11, 2026, as Living Grace Homes celebrated the grand opening of its Safe & Sound Campus. The facility, located near the intersection of Boulder Highway and Major Avenue, adds 38 beds to the city’s only known shelter for pregnant women and their families.
Expanding Capacity to Meet Community Need
Living Grace Homes, founded in 2007, has already assisted more than 1,000 mothers and children throughout the region. With the Safe & Sound Campus, the organization expects to serve about 90 families each year, a significant increase that reflects both growing demand and the nonprofit’s commitment to expanding safe housing options for vulnerable families.
Mission‑Driven Support
“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, during the opening ceremony. “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 shelter provides more than just a roof. Residents receive case management, parenting classes, and connections to health services, ensuring that both mother and child have the resources needed for a stable start. The nonprofit’s holistic approach aligns with traditional family values, emphasizing the importance of a nurturing environment for the next generation.
Community Backing
The grand opening also highlighted the contributions of local businesses, faith‑based groups, and individual donors who helped fund the project. Their support underscores Henderson’s strong tradition of community‑first initiatives, where neighbors rally around families in need.
City officials praised the addition, noting that the shelter fills a critical gap in the region’s social‑service network. By offering a dedicated space for expecting mothers, Henderson takes a proactive step toward reducing homelessness among families and strengthening the social fabric of the area.
Looking Ahead
Living Grace Homes plans to monitor the impact of the Safe & Sound Campus closely, aiming to refine its programs and expand outreach as demand grows. The organization invites volunteers and donors to continue supporting its mission, reinforcing the belief that a caring community can transform lives.
