A Path to Safety, Support, and a Brighter Future

Machiah's House is here to improve the lives of young women ages 18-24 who have aged out of foster care, through an innovative partnership of community resources that enhance their safety and quality of life

 Welcome to Machiah’s House, Inc.      

Machiah’s House is dedicated to supporting young women who have recently aged out of the foster care system and are navigating the challenges of transitioning into adulthood.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered in the State of North Carolina, we are funded through private and public contributions. While we are currently working toward securing our first transitional home, our commitment to serving vulnerable young women remains unwavering. The Machiah’s House team continues to make a meaningful impact through life skills workshops, community partnerships, mentorship opportunities, and special programming.

Although we are not currently accepting housing applications, we welcome referrals from DSS, the Department of Education, faith-based organizations, community partners, families, and friends for the programs and services we currently offer. Our workshops, events, and community gatherings are made possible through the generosity of our volunteers, staff, donors, and partners.

You can help bring our vision for a transitional home to life through a donation today. Your support will help fund the future of our transitional housing program and create lasting change in the lives of young women seeking stability, guidance, and hope as they build their futures.
