Seven Stars Emergency Shelter

Place of Hope's Seven Stars Emergency Shelter is Palm Beach County's first and only faith-based family-style emergency shelter for abused and neglected children providing short-term emergency care and support services for up to eight boys (ages six to thirteen) who have been removed from their homes by the State of Florida due to allegations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment and are temporarily unable to return home. The emergency shelter operates at a secured location in a traditional family neighborhood, welcoming children into a safe, healthy, and productive environment 24 hours a day/seven days a week.

The Seven Stars Emergency Shelter provides counseling, professional case management, therapy (individual and groups), and comprehensive support services to ensure the safety and well-being of dependent children while providing consistent residential care, supervision, healthy influences, and services that strive to meet each child's physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and educational needs.
