About Toby's House

Toby’s House is a maternity shelter for homeless, pregnant women and their children under the age of five years old.


Founded in 1998 by Kathleen Eaton, we are one of the only shelters in Orange County, CA that serves both pregnant women and pregnant women with other children. Toby’s House is a non-denominational, Christian organization dedicated to serving women in need of housing.

Toby’s House is a fifteen bed facility that operates three homes at various locations throughout Orange County, CA. Those three homes consist of a six-bed family unit home, a three-bed adoption facility, and a six-bed transitional living program. Since 1998, these locations have been a refuge to over 200 women and their children.


Residents are allowed to live free for the first 30-days while they seek employment, enroll in school or complete job training. We are a work-based program, and we believe in providing our clients with all the tools necessary to reach self-sufficiency.

With financial, emotional and spiritual assistance, our residents are able to reconstruct their lives and heal. Our expectant mothers receive prenatal care, birthing education, breastfeeding support, and baby items such as car seats, diapers, and bottles as needed. Our program offers life skills education classes daily to residents who learn parenting, cooking, budgeting, and job seeking skills that are critical to their success. But Toby’s House goes beyond meeting the physical needs of our residents. Our program also includes Bible study, one-on-one counseling, and Domestic Violence group therapy.

Toby’s House also partners with agencies such as the Orange County Perinatal program, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and Orange County Social Services.
