Our Core Goals

Villages of Hope (an affiliate of Place of Hope, Inc.) is a Transitional Independent Living Program designed to assist youth in developing skills and resources to promote independence. The program serves emancipated foster youth and other homeless youth ages 18 through 25 for placement in a residential supervised apartment setting.

Objectives

• Quality safe, affordable housing
• Life-skills development
• Supportive relationships -- mentors
• Moral and spiritual guidance
• Education and employment
• Emotional and material support
• Goal setting and career planning

Villages of Hope implements a youth-centered approach allowing participants to decide a cause of action for their own future, while promoting access to apartments for self-sufficiency.
