living in the foster care system without a permanent family?
Let's get them home for GOOD.
There are approx. 500,000 kids in foster care in the U.S. The government spends in excess of $5.3Billion annually, yet the numbers stay the same.
50% of kids that age out end up homeless, incarcerated, government-dependent, or with substance abuse issues.
75% of siblings get separated.
More than 20,000 kids disappear from the U.S. foster system every year.
60% of CSEC (Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children) Victims are from the child welfare system.
70% of those trafficked between the ages of 12-14 are foster children.
Children in foster care who experience just one caseworker have a 74% chance of permanent placement, but those with two caseworkers drop to 17% and with 3 or more only 5% find a permanent home.
Our mission is to place every child eligible for adoption into a safe, permanent, loving home through our results based 3-Phase Plan.
We intend to return foster care to its original purpose, a short-term safety net for kids awaiting reunification with their birth family or another permanency outcome. We aim to support caseworkers and will revolutionize the group home setting for those children who need to remain in foster care.
We started with a commitment to foster children and have come to learn of the intersection of these children with the child sex trafficking industry. We have integrated into our mission a commitment to end child sex trafficking born out of the child welfare system and will blunt one of the major pipelines for traffickers and keep these children safe.
