Project Title: Comprehensive Child Welfare Project
Project Description:
Place of Hope is a unique, faith-based, state-licensed child welfare organization providing family-style foster care for "hard-to-place" and other "special needs" foster children, family outreach and intervention, comprehensive maternity care, safety for victims of labor and sex trafficking, transitional housing and support services for transitioning and emancipated foster and other homeless youth, traditional foster care recruitment and support, hope, and healing opportunities for children and families who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect throughout our region. Through our family-model approach and commitment, we are dedicated to providing stable, loving, and nurturing environments and support for foster children while in state custody, following family reunification, pre-adoptive placement, and post-emancipation from care. We strive to foster and support healthy and productive lives, free from fear, endangerment, and most of all, abuse.
Place of Hope offers a continuum of care for the abused, abandoned, and neglected children in our local child welfare system. From Homes of Hope, our traditional foster care program, and Seven Stars Cottage, our Emergency Placement and Assessment Center, to our Family Cottages, Joann’s Cottage, our Maternity Home, Genesis Family Cottage, our home for young mothers and babies, the Kelly Woods Fleming Cottage and Alumni Impact Girls’ Cottage, our Extended Foster Care Dormitories, and our Transitional Independent Living Program, we strive to meet the needs of each child who comes into our care by uniquely serving them based on their individual gifts, abilities, and experiences. In the past 18 years, we have served over 11,000 children and families, kept 91 sibling groups together and have found 275 forever families for foster children.
