Jeremiah’s Place
Jeremiah's Place protects children and strengthens families by providing a safe haven of respite, health, renewal, and support for children when their families are experiencing a critical need for childcare. Providing emergency childcare eliminates the possibility of child neglect and child abuse daily. This care also allows parents/guardians to focus their full attention on the crisis they are experiencing, such as medical emergencies, mental health emergencies, domestic violence situations, and more, knowing that their children are in safe hands.
Jeremiah's Place is located in the Larimer neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA, serving the entire city and surrounding areas. As the only crisis nursery in the region, the services at Jeremiah ’s Place are taken advantage of by individuals near and far. In 2021 specifically, JP served individuals from 64 zip codes, some of whom were as far away as New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida. The five neighborhoods that Jeremiah ’s Place serves most often includes East Liberty, Wilkinsburg, Penn Hills, Homewood, and Braddock.
Jeremiah's Place provides 24/7, judgment -free emergency childcare for children ages 0 -6 at no cost to families. This service strives to eliminate scenarios where families place children in unsafe situations. Support from the Allegheny County Medical Society Foundation helps Jeremiah ’s Place to continue to offer families support specifically from an evening social worker, a member of our Strong Families Team. This Family Encouragement Specialist offers additional support during our evening and weekend hours when calls continue to come in from parents seeking emergency care. A crisis can occur at any time. Therefore, having a social worker available to speak to beyond weekday and daytime hours is crucial to 24/7 care.
