OUR IMPACT

Nurturing Environment for Children & Youth

Many of the youth who benefit from the program have experienced unspeakable abuse and neglect. Instead of focusing on the many revolving doors of abuse and neglect, H.O.M.E. specializes in empowering youth that they can make it in spite of their current situation. H.O.M.E. uses therapeutic artistic ideas as a way of meeting the needs of the children we serve. H.O.M.E seeks to fill the gap and turn the tide for vulnerable children by providing the needed therapy and nutritional programs for successful growth and development.
