Teen Mothers
In the Main Home we will house at least one teenage mother who is either pregnant or already has a baby. We will provide a loving, family support system for mother and child. They will be provided schooling, home and life training skills to help prepare them for life in society. They will stay in an apartment-like setting for up to one year and then will have the option to move into our transitional home in the city.

Foster Children
We will house children that are in foster care, in need of short term placement or emergency shelter (ppc/police protective custody). We will provide short term care for babies on up to teenagers. There is a huge shortage of foster and shelter beds in the KC Metro area due to the high volume of children in these situations. We hope to alleviate situations where children have to be taken three hours or more outside of the KC metro area due to this lack of housing. In the Main Home we will house children who are in need of short term care. We will also have two dedicated homes set apart for long term foster children.

Sibling Groups
One of the toughest moments a group of siblings will face as they enter into custody is being split apart from each other due to most foster homes only being able to take in one or two children at a time. One of our homes will be dedicated specifically for sibling groups.

At-Risk Youth
We will have a home dedicated to children who are having struggles at home or in life and might be in danger of being placed into custody. Our hope will be to provide a lifeline to families who feel like they are out of options
|
Youth Groups
Opportunities will be provided for youth with a focus on inner city children and church youth groups, to come out for a retreat week or weekend. This will be done on a small scale, 5-10 children, so that strong relationships can be built between the group. Youth will have an opportunity to get “back to the basics” without electronics, spending much time outdoors participating in different activities such as camping and horseback riding while learning Christian and life principals through the activities.
