Homes with Hope, Inc. is a private, non-profit Child-Placing Agency for children in foster care.

Our mission is to restore abandoned, abused or neglected children into homes by establishing them in a community of Christ-centered families who will, in relationship with the local church, foster children and in some cases, even adopt them. 

Presently, there are approximately 588,000 children in the foster care system in the United States. This represents 20,000 more children than the year before. Unfortunately, 30% of established foster homes leave fostering each year. Texas is not immune to this epidemic. 

 Each year in Texas, nearly 50,000 cases of child abuse and neglect are confirmed ... 137 times a day, six times an hour, a child in Texas is being abused or neglected. Houston, Harris County has the third largest population of abused and neglected children in the United States surpassed only by New York and Los Angeles.

The Lord has heard the cries of these children. He desires to provide a loving, secure, compassionate community in which they will be cherished, healed and nurtured to their full potential. We believe that the Lord demonstrates his heart for these children through our expressions of love.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. Psalm 27:10

Stewardship

We take seriously our responsibility to steward wisely the resources we have been given and to stretch every dollar donated as far as it will possibly go.To that end we  implement several strategies:

 

  1. Operate to the greatest extent possible debt-free. We have been very fortunate to operate on a cash basis and have no debt.
  2. Utilize as much donated property, equipment, time and services as possible.This runs the gamut and includes - our many  volunteers, professional accounting and video services, our office space, some of our office furniture and equipment, supplies to support families services and many, many other donations.
  3. Keep fundraising costs as low as possible and  maximize every dollar given.We have been  fortunate to have never paid a venue rental fee to hold a fundraising event.We use a  significant  number of volunteers to plan and work the events, and we obtain as many donated items and talent as possible for these events.
  4. Practice accountability. We have policies and practices in place to give close financial  oversight to the organization, including external financial audits and reviews.

It is our intent that Homes with Hope operate with financial integrity and that you can be confident that donations to us are used wisely.

Sincerely,

Janice Barlow
