A Nurturing Home for Pregnant and Parenting Mothers
Vita Nova means new life. At our maternity community in Papillion, we provide vital support and an opportunity for a fresh start for pregnant women and mothers who need assistance in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa.
Why We Started Vita Nova Maternity Community (VNMC)
We recognized the needs of pregnant women and new mothers who are struggling during this critical time in their lives. Our goal is to end the generational cycle of homelessness, poverty, and abuse to empower women to live healthy and productive lives. Therefore, we created a solution and welcome women into an environment of growth, unconditional love, and support.
VNMC provides therapeutic services, educational programming, individualized case management, life and parenting skills, financial stability education, and fellowship formation. We support addiction and recovery treatment, and mental health therapy through community services.
Housing
One of the most effective solutions for people experiencing homelessness is to simply offer a temporary place to live. At VNMC, we provide comfortable dwellings for mothers and expectant mothers to have privacy, safety, and an environment where they have the support they need to thrive.
Programs
Beyond the life-changing housing, VNMC cares for our residents in a variety of ways. Our food service manager provides fresh-cooked meals geared toward the nutritional needs of pregnant and post-natal mothers and their children. We also offer a curriculum of courses for mothers, health and wellness programming, access to technology, assistance for higher education and employment opportunities.
Alumni Support
When mothers complete our program they move into our VNMC alumni support services. We will continue to offer ongoing programming and educational opportunities.
