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.
Where are we going?
Ultimately, we see a literal neighborhood where families live in close proximity with the shared purpose of raising foster children. Providing a sense of permanence, these homes will be located around a common facility where all of the families can gather for social and learning purposes. The church will partner with this community to provide emotional, spiritual, and practical support so that families can successfully provide homes with hope for these children.
We can make a difference in the lives of children who need a family and who need hope ...
We can do this well ...
We can do this together ...
Please consider joining us, as together we serve the Lord by caring for these children.
