The
History of H.O.M.S.
Housing Outreach for Muslim Sisters, otherwise known as
H.O.M.S. was founded in May 1, 1999 by a group of sisters in Texas who were
concerned about the welfare of their fellow Muslimahs and their
children in the United States.
Upon witnessing situation after situation, and dealing with sisters that had no where to go
(facing abuse and/or homelessness);
this group of active sisters decided to do as the Prophet (saws) has said, "If
anyone of you sees something objectionable, he should change it with his
hand..." (Muslim)
The H.O.M.S. facility was opened, and sisters
from across the United States began contacting the H.O.M.S. staff for
help.
We make dua that Allah SWT help us in making H.O.M.S. a permanent
and successful facility and resource for the Muslim women/children in the
United States.

Why
Should I Help H.O.M.S.?
We have an epidemic in the United States which is affecting this Muslim Ummah, specifically
women and children. It is the obligation and duty of the Muslims in the United States to take
care of our sisters and young children. If we continue to stand by and turn our sisters and children out on the streets we will be held
responsible by Allah (SWT). We will have to answer why....why have we turned our sisters and
children away who proclaim La illah ill Allah?
We turn them into the streets at the mercy of the non-Muslims. Almost every homeless shelter
in the United States are run by Christians. These shelters house child molesters, criminals, drug addicts and alcohol abusers. These
shelters are very dangerous places for adult men, let alone women and children. Many of our American sisters who convert to Islam, are are disowned by their families and
have no one to turn to, other sisters are brought to the United States after marriage, then
abandoned by their husbands and do not even speak the English language.
Many of these sisters have small children...even newborn infants. SubhanAllah, it is your duty as a Muslim to protect your sisters in the deen and protect their
helpless children. You will be rewarded.
Donations:
We are always in need of donations for the shelter.
We are currently trying to raise $200,000 to purchase a permanent
secure facility which will enable us to house more Muslim sisters and
their children.
