We are so grateful for The David A. Burk Foundation’s continued advocacy and generosity in support of the mission at Place of Hope.

 

In May we stand, hand in hand, fostering dreams across the land!

May is National Foster Care Month. This month we will be highlighting the importance of foster care and Place of Hope’s crucial role in it. Youth who emancipate from foster care without permanent connections are at increased risk for adverse outcomes in adulthood.

Villages of Hope

Villages of Hope, a sister entity of Place of Hope, provides affordable transitional housing with independent living support and essential life-skills development for emancipated foster youth, otherwise homeless youth, and single mothers with independent children in need. We are dedicated to providing a supportive and proactive living and learning environment, and we are committed to meeting a desperate need in our community by sharing God’s love, supporting the transition to healthy adulthood, and building hope one young adult at a time.

Across our region, there are as many as 2,000 homeless families and individuals on any given day. Their life circumstances are all unique, but their need for a supportive community is undeniable. With their primary need of housing met, these individuals and families are offered the skills and support necessary to live with dignity, independence and stability.
