About the Cause
 
Raphael's Life House (RLH), a Covenant House NJ program in Elizabeth, is a safe-haven for homeless, pregnant women and their babies, once born.  RLH provides a safe and supportive living environment within which these mothers are offered services to help them develop the skills and values needed for responsible parenthood. 
 
All women between the ages of 18 and 23 are welcome regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, or economic status.  RLH’s goal is to give these women the tools needed to establish an independent living situation for themselves and their families.  To learn more about Raphael's Life House, please call 973-286-3400.
