Mayka: Interim Shelter
Mayka means 'My Mother's Home' in Indian language. Providing interim shelter to single moms with young kids facing homelessness.
A Place Called "Home"
Under this program, we provide interim shelter to single moms with young kids who are facing homelessness and need temporary shelter while they move to a shelter home or alternate arrangement. We have partnered with YMCA and are working with their clients.
One hotel night costs us on average $100 per room per night. The stay can range between one week to one month. It really breaks our heart to see young kids and even infants on the streets exposed to high risk.
Once these families find shelter, we help them with necessary household items, furniture, clothing, toys — everything that helps them have a place called "Home".
Our program also provides mental health support as it is very stressful for single moms to face this situation. Our future plan is to have our own facility for an interim shelter.
