Future Goals

As the needs grow for providing safe, stable, and nurturing options for transitiional housing, so will our ministry. Our goal is to continue to support our current houses and grow into additional house – all maintaining our focus and adhereing to our mission of providing a Christian-based organization which prepares youth to lead self-sufficient lives by providing the safe and loving family environment that is missing in their lives.

The following are future goals for the House of Love:

• To obtain a home for boys ages 12 – 17.
• To obtain a four- family unit for girls ages 18 – 21 for transitional living.
• To obtain a four-family unit for boys ages 18 – 21 for transitional living.
• To partner with more businesses in the community who will agree to hire the youth who have successfully completed the job training program and will be aging out of the fostercare system.
• To partner with more churches that will provide volunteers to mentor the youth. 

God has blessed us over the past six years to provide a supportive, nurturing, loving, safe and stable home for the youth we have served in the community. We have seen many youth positively affected by the ministry and many have experienced significant growth and changes in their lives. House of Love Group Home has experienced a high rate of success with the youth we have served since 2004. As a result of this success, we desire to expand the number of clients served and the scope of programming and services provided.

We have seen the need for a second girl’s facility and we are on our way with this project. We also see the need for a boy’s home. However, the greatest and the most immediate need at this time is for the youth age 18 – 21 who is exiting the fostercare system. Many of these youth who have aged out of the home are still coming back to the home for help because they still need that support system from positive people who have impacted them in some way in their lives. These youth are aging out of the system but they still need our support and guidance. Therefore, we are seeking your help in partnering with us to obtain 4 family units for these youth. We need to help with housing and also provide them with the support; supervision and the ongoing assistance that they still need to live independently in the community.

With these 4 family units we will be able to offer a safe, stable and supportive home to the youth for them to continue to have the support system from people who they can trust and continue to learn basic day to day living skills. This will also be a place of their own and they will still have the ongoing assistance and support that they need upon exiting the system, up to age 21.

We are looking for those that would catch the vision of House of Love Group Home and help us continue to provide safe, stable, loving and supportive homes to the youth in our community who are exiting the fostercare system. Let’s work together to decrease the number of homelessness for our youth.

The June 2000 Independent Living for Children in Out-Of-Home Care study found that youth exiting care at the age of 18 are especially vulnerable to physical and sexual victimization, unemployment and underemployment, homelessness, incarceration and public assistance utilization in higher numbers than youth who had not been placed in the out-of-home care system.
