Our Mission Statement
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.
Our History
The foundations for Homes with Hope, Inc. (HwH)
were laid in the summer of 1995 when a group of adult and
teenage volunteers from a Houston-area church began weekly
visits to a local emergency shelter for teenage girls. The
friendships that resulted fostered an on-going relationship that
lasted for several years and continues on today. Throughout the
years, many of the girls from the shelter became involved in the
church community, and their physical and emotional needs became
more evident.
In February of 1999, the shelter closed. Within
six months another emergency shelter, which served children
ranging in ages from birth to 13 years, approached the church
about providing similar support. The second shelter received
continuous support for the next two years.
At that point, the service to that shelter
ended. But a vision was born for a means of providing a new kind
of support: an entire virtual community taking responsibility
for both the foster families and children. That became the
foundation for Homes with Hope.
