The vision

Throughout the New Testament Jesus interacts with those who have spiritual and physical needs in a specific way; He often first met the physical need and then addressed their spiritual need.  If someone was in pain, ill or hungry, He always met that need first.  He did this because of His compassion but more importantly so that barriers to listening to the message of salvation could be removed. We believe that the same principle applies to the home we are providing for emancipated youth.

Three of the main components to a successful adult transition for young people aging out of foster care are: at least one supportive adult mentor, affordable housing and education or employment. Arms of Love Foster Care Supportive Housing Program offers a safe, functional home environment for young women with the hopes to help young women become self-sustaining. Participants will be required to set goals in order to grow and learn to be independent adults. Our team will help support their goals through mentor relationships, discipleship and life skill development. By meeting their physical needs, the program will enable young women to focus on these key areas with the hope that they will be transformed by the love of Christ.

Join us on mission…

Arms of Love’s supportive housing program is a pilot project, providing one home to a few young women aging out of foster care.  Each young woman entering into the housing program will set goals in order to grow and learn to be independent adults. We plan to support their goals by having our community surround these young adults and help them to achieve successful independence.
