Transitional Housing for Youth Aging Out of Foster Care
| Safe Housing | Discipleship | Life Skills | Community |
Proving safe housing through a community of tiny homes designed for youth aging out of foster care.
Our aim is to equip young adults for a successful transition into adulthood by offering Christ-centered discipleship, life skills training, supportive community, and continued guidance every step of the way.
The Journey Begins
We are currently in the beginning stages of planning alongside a local foster care ministry in South Carolina to build our tiny home community on their property. This partnership offers an incredible opportunity to surround youth aging out of foster care with a Christ-centered community, meaningful relationships, and the support they need to successfully transition into adulthood.
As we move forward, we are actively raising funds to bring this vision to life. Every donation, every partnership, and every prayer helps us take another step toward providing lasting hope for these young adults.
Please join us in prayer as we seek God’s wisdom, provision, and guidance through each step of this journey. We are excited to see how He will work, and we look forward to sharing updates with you as this vision becomes a reality.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
James 1:27
The Reality We Can’t Ignore.
✽ ✽ ✽
South Carolina has children in foster care from birth through age 18, with many remaining in care for months or years while working toward reunification, adoption, or another permanent home
South Carolina has approximately 6.7 children in foster care for every 1,000 children, compared to the U.S. average of about 5.8 per 1,000 children. That means South Carolina's foster care rate is about 15–20% higher than the national average
Only 43.9% of South Carolina foster youth graduate from high school by age 19, compared to more than 85% of students nationwide.
Roughly 150–250 South Carolina youth transition out of foster care each year without a permanent family. Up to 20% experience homelessness shortly after leaving foster care
South Carolina also has an ongoing need for foster families, particularly for teenagers (ages 13–17), sibling groups, and children with higher support needs. Many teens wait longer for family-like placements because there simply are not enough homes available
Former foster youth are significantly more likely to struggle with unemployment, financial instability, and mental health challenges as they enter adulthood
